Behaviour data and compliance

This user story demonstrates how Senoptic’s AI-driven analytics can help manufacturing organisations achieve their behaviour-driven strategic goals by building an effective health and safety strategy. Using real-time IoT sensors and AI analytics data, Senoptic empowers manufacturers to monitor employee behaviours, environmental conditions, and equipment performance. Our solutions provide actionable insights that enable proactive risk management, reduce incidents, and foster a safety culture, ultimately creating a healthier and more compliant workplace for all employees.

Behaviour-driven Strategic Goals

• Develop an effective H&S strategy: Use real-time data to identify and address safety risks before incidents occur, creating a safer work environment.
• Reduce incidents and downtime: By proactively managing health and safety risks, the company can reduce workplace injuries, minimise production stoppages, and maintain compliance.
• Drive continuous improvement: Analyse data trends to identify long-term safety risks and continuously refine the company’s health and safety policies and procedures.

Target Behaviour

Capturing and analysing unsafe employee behaviours, environmental risks, and equipment malfunctions in real-time to prevent health and safety incidents and develop a data-driven safety strategy. The focus is on detecting anomalies such as improper use of machinery, lack of PPE, and hazardous environmental conditions.

Current Process

The manufacturing company conducts regular manual inspections and relies on incident reports to track health and safety issues. This reactive approach means safety data is often incomplete, only gathered after an accident has occurred. As a result, safety strategies are based on historical data rather than real-time insights, leading to slower response times and an increased risk of incidents.

"Safety officers rely on periodic manual checks and incident reports to track health and safety risks, responding to issues after they occur."

Future Process with Senoptic

With Senoptic’s AI analytics and IoT sensors integrated into the manufacturing environment, health and safety data is continuously collected and processed in real-time. Sensors monitor employee behaviour, equipment status, and environmental factors like temperature, noise, and air quality. The AI system analyses this data to detect anomalies that indicate potential safety risks, such as unsafe handling of materials or machinery, unauthorised access to dangerous areas, or non-compliance with safety protocols. The system feeds this information into customisable data dashboards, providing management with actionable insights that inform a dynamic, real-time health and safety strategy.

A sensor detects that a worker operating heavy machinery is not wearing the required safety gear, immediately alerting the safety team and logging the incident in the dashboard. Simultaneously, environmental sensors identify that noise levels in a particular section of the facility are approaching unsafe limits, triggering preventative actions such as adjusting workflows or providing additional PPE. Over time, the data dashboards reveal trends in safety risks, such as recurring anomalies in specific areas, enabling management to implement targeted safety measures and allocate resources more effectively.

• "AI-driven analytics and IoT sensors provide real-time monitoring, detecting unsafe behaviours and environmental hazards, enabling proactive risk management and strategy development."

Outcomes

• Proactive incident prevention: AI analytics identify unsafe behaviours and environmental hazards as they happen, allowing for immediate intervention before incidents occur.
• Real-time data dashboards: Customisable dashboards give safety officers and management a comprehensive view of health and safety performance, including key metrics, trends, and high-risk areas.
• Actionable insights: The system generates insights based on detected anomalies, helping management to prioritise interventions and refine safety protocols in high-risk areas.
• Behavioural anomaly detection: The AI system detects deviations from standard operating procedures (e.g., improper equipment use or lack of PPE) and flags these for immediate action, ensuring consistent safety compliance.
• Improved safety strategy: Continuous data analysis gives management the insights needed to develop and refine a practical, data-driven health and safety strategy that evolves with the company's needs.

Who Benefits?

Safety Officers and H&S Teams: Gain a powerful tool for monitoring and improving workplace safety in real-time, reducing the need for manual inspections and reactive management.

Operations Managers: Benefit from fewer accidents and downtime, ensuring production schedules remain on track while protecting employee wellbeing.

Senior Management: Enjoy reduced liability, lower insurance premiums, and improved health and safety regulations compliance, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective operation.

Employees: Experience a safer work environment, leading to fewer injuries, greater job satisfaction, and increased trust in the company's commitment to their wellbeing.

Wider Impact

Reduced incident rates: AI analytics and IoT sensors continuously monitor the workplace, reducing the frequency of safety incidents by proactively identifying risks.

Cost savings: With fewer injuries and production disruptions, the company can significantly reduce costs related to worker compensation, legal liabilities, and equipment repairs.

Better compliance: Real-time data ensures that the company consistently meets health and safety regulations, reducing the risk of fines or penalties.

Long-term safety improvements: Continuous data collection and analysis allow the company to build a safety culture based on actionable insights, fostering a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to workplace safety.

By integrating AI analytics with IoT sensors, Senoptic enables manufacturing companies to create a real-time, data-driven health and safety strategy that reduces incidents, protects employees, and enhances operational efficiency.
