Recently, there has been a high frequency of construction site occupational accidents. In February 2023, at a construction site in Kaohsiung City, a crane tilted and overturned during lifting operations, causing the crane arm to press against nearby construction workers, resulting in occupational injuries. In April, a worker was welding steel bars and was accidentally struck by a crane, leading to a work safety accident. In May, the owner of a tile company in New Taipei City was suspected of mistakenly operating a forklift, causing the person to be suspended above the machine and resulting in a tragic incident. Therefore, the safety distance and positioning between construction workers and machinery during on-site operations are often compromised due to the complexity of the construction workplace environment, posing numerous latent risks and leading to long-term occupational hazard issues, including severe public safety incidents. In the construction industry, cameras or video devices are commonly used to record the progress of construction activities throughout the entire construction phase. However, due to the large size of image data and time-consuming processing, these devices are often passively utilized, resulting in suboptimal outcomes where the data is merely stored for reference purposes. To address this issue, this study proposes a construction hazard warning system that leverages deep learning techniques, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), known for their powerful feature extraction capabilities. By automatically extracting features from contours, edges, and local characteristics through filters and subsequently inputting the extracted features into a fully connected neural network, a practical framework for on-site construction hazard recognition is established. The system enables real-time monitoring of construction sites by processing and analyzing image data. It utilizes a safety assessment module to identify potential hazards and issue warning signals quickly, alerting site managers to take immediate actions to ensure occupational safety. In collaboration with construction companies, this research collects construction project images. It conducts site analysis to validate the feasibility of the hazard warning model and evaluate its practical effectiveness in occupational safety management. By integrating technological advancements, this research aims to assist site managers in adopting more efficient management tools, safeguarding the safety of construction personnel, reducing work-related accidents, and enhancing productivity and competitiveness in the construction industry. |
