Despite being a leader in safety, the company faced a challenge: the risk of falls in the beverage manufacturing process. Frontline workers in beverage industry often need to climb ladders or work on high platforms, where losing balance can lead to serious accidents. To stay safe, it's important for them to always keep three points of contact (like two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) on the ladder or platform. This simple rule helps them maintain stability and avoid falls.
But with so many employees and different work areas, making sure everyone follows this safety rule all the time is tough. This is where the company saw a big chance to do better: the company joined forces with Intenseye to tackle this safety challenge head-on. By integrating Intenseye's AI-powered EHS management software with their existing camera infrastructure, they were able to detect someone climbing a ladder or navigating stairs without keeping the necessary points of contact.
Through the insights provided by the Intenseye's AI-powered EHS management software, the company identified a high incidence of unsafe behaviors regarding stairway usage. In response, targeted interventions were implemented, including tailored training programs and the installation of additional signage to reinforce safe stairway practices. These steps were aimed at reminding employees of the correct practices and ensuring they understood the importance of safety at all times.
The outcome of these efforts was outstanding:
• Reduction in safety hazards: By utilizing Intenseye's AI to ensure compliance with the critical three points of contact rule, the company achieved a staggering 92% decrease in unsafe behaviors related to stairway usage!

Seeing the company use the latest tech to keep them safe made employees feel valued and important. This boost in morale made safety a key part of their daily work life.

• Cost savings and value creation: The reduction in incidents translated to lower healthcare and legal costs, fewer production delays, and a reduction in insurance premiums. Moreover, the enhanced workplace safety culture and operational efficiency contributed to sustaining and potentially increasing the company's market value by reinforcing its reputation as a responsible and innovative leader in workplace safety.
