초록

The construction industry has witnessed a concerning rise in ladder-related accidents, necessitating the implementation of stricter safety measures. Recent statistics highlight a substantial number of accidents occurring while using ladders, emphasizing the mandatory need for preventative measures. While prior research has explored computer vision-based automatic monitoring for specific aspects such as ladder stability with and without outriggers, worker height, and helmet usage, this study extends existing frameworks by introducing a rule set for co-workers. The research methodology involves training a YOLOv5 model on a comprehensive dataset to detect both the worker on the ladder and the presence of co-workers in real time. The aim is to enable smooth integration of the detector into a mobile application, serving as a portable real-time monitoring tool for safety managers. This mobile application functions as a general safety tool, considering not only conventional risk factors but also ensuring the presence of a co-worker when a worker reaches a specific height. The application offers users an intuitive interface, utilizing the device's camera to identify and verify the presence of coworkers during ladder activities. By combining computer vision technology with mobile applications, this study presents an innovative approach to ladder safety that prioritizes real-time, on-site co-worker verification, thereby significantly reducing the risk of accidents in construction environments. With an overall mean average precision (mAP) of 97.5 percent, the trained model demonstrates its effectiveness in detecting unsafe worker behavior within a construction environment.
