Machine safety - Machine guarding checks for hands, jams and open guards

For machine guarding, ConductVision is designed to flag a hand or body in a running machine, someone servicing a machine or clearing a jam without stopping it, and a guard left open, for your safety team to review. It does not stop a machine or replace guards or lockout.

What OSHA's machine guarding rule says

29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1)

One or more methods of machine guarding shall be provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks.

29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii)

The point of operation of machines whose operation exposes an employee to injury, shall be guarded.

Pilot - How a pilot starts

A pilot is one area of one plant. We look at footage you choose to share with us and agree with your team on what to watch for. A first look at your footage shows whether the camera views will work. Your team sets the criteria before any results come in. You decide whether to roll out, change the scope or stop.

You bring: Video from the cameras that already cover one machine or line
We set up: One machine or line, and the problems your team wants flagged there
You get: Flagged clips for your safety team to review, and a report of the results checked against the criteria your team set

ConductVision works with the camera system you already run. We do not install cameras. ConductVision runs on a computer at your site. Full recordings never leave your network, and short clips leave it only as your statement of work sets out. Faces can be blurred, or people shown as simple figures, when your policy calls for it.
