Sankarlal and Albert Thomas Construction Technology and Management Division, Civil Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India Construction safety is a matter of great concern for practitioners and researchers worldwide. Even after risk assessments have been conducted and adequate controls have been implemented, workers are still subject to safety hazards in construction work environments. The need for personal protective equipment (PPE) is important in this context. Automatic and real-time detection of the non-compliance of workers in using PPE is an important concern. Developments in the field of computer vision and data analytics, especially using deep learning algorithms have the potential to address this challenge in construction. This study developed a framework to sense in Edited by: real-time, the safety compliance of construction workers with respect to PPE, which is Dryver R.
