HardHat Pulse combines overhead computer vision with wearable sensor data to flag PPE violations, proximity alerts, and fall-risk zones the moment they appear — not hours later in an incident report.
Construction safety failures have three root causes: missing PPE, workers in restricted zones, and supervisors who notice problems too late. We address all three.
Computer vision models trained on 280,000+ labeled construction images detect hard hats, high-visibility vests, safety glasses, and steel-toed boots per worker per frame. Non-compliance triggers a supervisor alert in under 1.2 seconds.
Site managers draw exclusion zones around crane swing radii, excavation edges, and active electrical panels. When a worker's wearable tag crosses a zone boundary, a two-channel alert fires — to the worker's device and the site foreman simultaneously.
Every alert, near-miss, and zone breach is logged with timestamp, GPS coordinate, and camera frame reference. OSHA 300-compatible reports export in three clicks. Week-over-week trend data identifies high-risk shifts before they become claim events.
BLE-enabled hard hat clips and vest badges sync with the site's edge gateway every 500ms. Heart-rate anomaly and slip-and-fall detection run on-device, so alerts fire even when the camera has line-of-sight obstructions.
Handles up to 48 simultaneous RTSP streams from fixed mast cameras, PTZ units, and helmet-mounted feeds. The platform stitches overlapping fields of view to maintain continuous worker tracking across large, multi-level jobsites.
Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Trimble Connect integrations ship out of the box. A documented REST API lets GC technology teams push HardHat Pulse data into existing project management workflows without manual exports.
Most safety software tells you what went wrong after the fact. We close the gap between observation and intervention.
Our installation team conducts a field survey to map camera placement, zone boundaries, and edge gateway positioning. Typical 10-acre jobsite takes 6 hours to instrument.
The site-specific vision model is calibrated to lighting conditions, local PPE variants, and worker density patterns. Calibration takes 48 hours using first-week footage.
Detection runs on the on-site edge server — no cloud round-trip required for alerts. Supervisors receive push notifications on mobile and desktop within 1.2 seconds of a detection event.
Weekly safety reports auto-generate with OSHA 300 log entries pre-filled. The model retrains monthly on site-specific edge cases, improving detection accuracy over the project lifecycle.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that construction accounts for 20% of all U.S. worker fatalities despite employing under 6% of the workforce. The top four causes — falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution — have remained consistent since 2004.
Traditional safety programs rely on periodic walk-throughs, manual checklists, and post-incident reviews. HardHat Pulse replaces spot-checks with persistent machine observation, cutting the window between a hazard forming and a supervisor responding from hours to seconds.

Works alongside the construction management platforms your teams already use.
We run a 30-day pilot on a single construction zone at no cost. If the detection accuracy doesn't meet the 95% threshold, you owe nothing.
