The problem. Warehouse workers are hurt at twice the national rate (4.6 vs 2.3 injuries per 100 workers, BLS 2024), and forklifts killed 84 workers in 2024. Today a hazard is usually found by an injury, an OSHA complaint or an inspection, and federal OSHA would need 191 years to inspect every workplace once.
What we built. Eyes on the Floor is a video agent that reads the cameras a warehouse already has and flags OSHA hazards as they happen. Our demo detects two: a blocked emergency exit (29 CFR 1910.37) and a person on foot in a forklift lane (29 CFR 1910.178).
How it works. Frames from [video source] go to [model], which [how it detects, e.g. tracks people and forklifts and checks them against marked zones]. When a hazard appears, the agent names the OSHA rule, the camera and the location, and alerts the floor lead through [alert channel]. Every flag is logged with a time stamp.
Technologies. We used [technology 1] for [what it does], [technology 2] for [what it does] and [technology 3] for [what it does].
Why it matters. The floor lead hears about a hazard in seconds, while it can still be fixed, and before anyone has to file a complaint.
