Introduction
Did you know? Over 25% of all construction accidents involve heavy machinery, and many of these are caused by blind spots. According to OSHA, roughly 75% of struck-by fatalities involve trucks, cranes, or heavy equipment.
Blind spots are one of the biggest safety risks on construction sites, often leading to worker injuries, equipment damage, and costly project delays. Traditional mirrors and spotters are not enough to prevent accidents. The solution? A 360° Proximity Warning Alert System (PWAS) Camera that provides operators with a full, real-time view of their surroundings.
The Problem: How Blind Spots Lead to Accidents
Construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and cranes have large blind zones, making it difficult for operators to see workers or obstacles nearby.
- Shocking Stats on Construction Blind Spot Accidents.
- 50% of construction vehicle accidents involve reversing due to poor visibility.
- Each year, over 5,000 workers are injured due to vehicle-related accidents on job sites.
- The average cost of a workplace injury is $42,000, not including lawsuits and project delays.
Common Risks Caused by Blind Spots:
- Worker Collisions – A worker walks into a machine's path without the operator noticing.
- Vehicle-to-Vehicle Collisions – Trucks or cranes collide due to lack of visibility.
- Equipment Damage – Operators accidentally hit site structures, materials, or other machines.
- Project Delays & Increased Costs – Accidents result in expensive repairs, medical costs, and downtime.
The Solution: How a 360° PWAS Camera System Enhances Safety
A 360° PWAS Camera System eliminates blind spots by providing a real-time, panoramic view around the entire vehicle. This system uses AI-powered object detection and smart alerts to warn operators before an accident happens.
How It Works:
- Four or More Wide - Angle Cameras – Capture a full 360° view around the vehicle.
- AI-Based Object Detection – Identifies workers, equipment, and obstacles in real time.
- Real-Time Alerts – Provides visual and audio warnings when hazards are detected.
- Recording & Data Storage – Helps with post-incident analysis and safety training.
Key Benefits of a 360° PWAS Camera System
- Eliminates Blind Spots – Ensures operators can see everything around their equipment.
- Reduces Accident Risk by 60% – Studies show that using 360° cameras significantly decreases collisions.
- Boosts Worker Safety – Real-time alerts prevent struck-by accidents, keeping workers safe.
- Cuts Equipment Damage Costs – Preventing just one collision can save thousands in repairs.
- Improves Site Productivity – Fewer accidents mean smoother operations and fewer delays.
- Ensures Compliance – Helps meet OSHA and local safety regulations, avoiding hefty fines.
