No helmet in the plant walkway
The technical walkway of a treatment plant, between the aeration basin and the tanks. Someone is coming down the path towards the camera, with no helmet and no hi-vis. At the far end of the same walkway three workers stand by the handrail in vests and helmets, and on the right another operator in a white helmet is working on the pumps. The basin is aerating right beside the path.

What IRIS is
IRIS watches over critical infrastructure.
IRIS looks at the cameras you already have at the dam, the water plant or the power plant, and understands what it sees: someone entering where they shouldn't, a strange vehicle, an overflow, the perimeter. When something like that happens, it alerts right away; and whatever can be counted, it counts in numbers. All day long, with no one needing to watch the screen.
You tell it what you need to watch, and IRIS does it.
Here, for example, IRIS spots someone walking down the corridor with no helmet or vest, right next to the running reactor, and alerts whoever can reach them with the gear straight away, while the person is still there. It also logs how often this happens and which door they came through. You use that to decide whether that entrance needs a stronger reminder, then check next month if it dropped.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
someone is inside the marked area without a helmet or without a vest and is still there seconds later
Then
- alert the plant manager with the camera and the exact point on the walkway
- keep the still, so it can be shown at the safety briefing
- log how many times it has happened at that same spot today
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if anyone walks into the technical area without a helmet and a hi-vis vest, whether they work here or not.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the site
The person without a helmet is almost never a plant operator: it is the driver who parked and came in to ask something, the supplier's technician who came to look at a pump, the visitor who walked two metres ahead. And that walkway has an aerating basin a step from the edge. Today this gets corrected if someone sees it, and at four on a Tuesday afternoon nobody does. IRIS does not stop anyone and does not hand out helmets: it alerts the person who can walk over and hand one, while the visitor is still there. And because it logs how often it happens and where, the plant manager discovers it is almost always the same gate.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know who the person without a helmet is?
No. IRIS does not identify anyone: it does not recognise faces, it does not read number plates, it does not compare them against any database and it does not store who anyone is. It sees a person in an area where a helmet and a vest are required, and sees that they are not wearing them. That is enough for someone to go and hand them over, and for that you do not need a name.
What if it is a visitor being escorted by plant staff?
Escorted or not, that area requires a helmet. The rule is written by the plant: you mark on the image where the mandatory-PPE zone starts and in which time bands it applies, and the offices and the car park stay outside it. If the plant decides an escorted visit should not raise an alert, it is set up that way; the decision is theirs, not ours.
Is this for disciplining people?
It is not designed for that, and the way it works it could not serve that anyway: IRIS does not know who the person is. The alert goes to whoever can walk over with a helmet in hand, and what gets logged is the spot and the time, not a name. What the site does with that information afterwards is decided by the operator of the plant, who writes the rules.

How long does it take to find a hand played two hours ago?
12 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 3 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
What does a shopping centre see beyond the visitor count?
12 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 8 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
If the camera does not show it,IRIS does not see it. We say so up front, not afterwards.
No camera sees through a wall or in complete darkness. We would rather show you where the limit is, and place what you have well, than promise something that never appears on screen.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
