“…When installing a walking platform and a safety hook attachment facility, it must be checked for the location of each object. Before beginning work, it is necessary to verify the availability of additional space using shop drawings and site photographs [14]. In addition, information from shop drawings and site photographs should be incorporated when creating the computer vision system.…”

“…In other words, safety accidents can be reduced by an effective safety culture of the system [13]. Falls from heights are the leading cause of occupational deaths in the construction industry, accounting for approximately 54% of all accidents [14]. ese deaths can be significantly reduced due to the use of personal protective equipment.…”

In South Korea, industrial accidents continue to increase in frequency, with construction accidents accounting for more than a third of all industrial accidents. Specifically, by preventing fall accidents, the death rate from accidents can be reduced by 50%. Fall protection is required to prevent fall accidents, and investigating the reinforcement of the worker’s safety harness and hook fastening becomes imperative. This requires automation of computer vision confirmation of the safety harness and hook fastening. As the accident risk can be reduced by an effective safety culture in the system, it is necessary to monitor safety on site through a construction safety automation system. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a computer vision process for safety harness and hook for preventing fall accidents in South Korea’s construction industry. This study focuses on system scaffolds that are widely used at construction sites. The application of this methodology to sample sites and field cases established its applicability. The proposed computer vision application methodology will serve as the foundation for visualization research in the construction industry, and image recognition will help reduce the safety accident rate. Accidents caused by failure to use a safety harness and hook can be reduced in South Korea as well as globally. Additionally, this methodology is applicable to roof construction, tower crane installation and dismantling work, as well as steel tower installation and dismantling.

Globally, the prevention of falls in construction is always challenging to contracting organizations. A web-based safety knowledge management (KM) system, SAFEFORM, was developed to prevent falls during vertical formwork operations in Indian construction projects. The purpose of this study was to conduct a usability analysis for SAFEFORM using a system usability scale (SUS). Fifteen potential end users were targeted to evaluate the SAFEFORM. The results indicated that the respondents considered SAFEFORM excellent and acceptable. It is expected that the SAFEFORM could assist users in preventing falls during vertical formwork operations in Indian CPs and enhance overall safety performance.
