Clearway provides AI-powered PPE detection solutions that monitor construction sites in real-time to ensure workers wear required protective gear. PPE detection solutions are systems that use artificial intelligence to monitor and ensure compliance with personal protective equipment requirements on construction sites.
Dealing with near misses, reportable incidents, and serious accidents is a major concern for managers and supervisors. Yet, many have no way to monitor PPE compliance across all sites and spaces 100% of the time. PPE detection and monitoring provides an efficient, effective solution.


PPE is an essential element of workforce safety, and the impacts of non-compliance, whether ignoring PPE or wearing it incorrectly, can be incredibly severe and potentially fatal. Managers, business owners, and supervisors are responsible for the welfare of their staff and can face liability if they lack processes to identify non-compliance and act accordingly.
Understand Health and Safety breaches and detect potential risks with Clearway’s real-time PPE monitoring, detection and compliance software, connected to our cloud-based analytics platform. The system can provide statistics, automated email notifications, and near-miss reporting, accompanied by snapshots of non-compliance with hard hats, hi-visibility trousers, hi-visibility vests, or jackets.

Connect PPE Detection to CCTV Surveillance
PPE detection can be integrated with existing IP CCTV networks or installed alongside Clearway CCTV units.
Our Process

Here’s what to expect from the process. From the moment you call us to the continued relationship after your site is secured.
From Call to Hire, getting your site secured is straightforward
1. Clarifying PPE Rules and Policies
Any business or site installing PPE detection cameras will need to have details of all requirements and policies in place, ensuring their monitoring solutions are programmed correctly.
2. Adapting Monitoring by Zone or Risk
AI-powered supervision is customised to each business or facility, with defined PPE requirements based on the risks within each part of the site or environment or stipulated per area.
3. Fast Alerts of Suspected Non-Compliance
Should there be a situation where an individual enters a covered area without the correct PPE, or appears to be disregarding PPE usage policies, the appointed managers or supervisors are swiftly informed.
4. Record Keeping and Enforcement
Issues are recorded for audit purposes, alongside image captures for forward action, ensuring construction, highway and industrial firms can easily demonstrate compliance and be audit-ready at any point.
What To Expect

Here’s what to expect once your site is secured.
1. Risk Assessment
Almost all changes to security and workforce protection begin with a risk appraisal that sets out the real-world threats and dangers associated with non-compliance, ensuring PPE policies and enforcement protocols are fully up to date.
2. Staff Training and Communication
Businesses should ensure staff, subcontractors and other stakeholders are aware of the introduction of PPE detection, the benefits in terms of preventing accidents and near misses, and the expectations of compliance.
3. System Configuration
PPE detection can be retrofitted as an integration with existing surveillance assets or installed complete with CCTV cameras suited to outdoor construction sites or industrial complexes as necessary.
4. Data Analysis
Senior leadership can continue to collate data and reporting to ensure they have clarity about PPE compliance, any trends or patterns in non-adherence, and have tracked actions taken and outcomes achieved.


For many organisations, the size and layout of complex developments and project sites make it impossible to manually verify that each individual is wearing the correct PPE at all times of the day, which is where PPE detection provides an effective solution.
Personnel, delivery drivers, and contractors might be ignoring rules around wearing hard hats, steel-toe-capped boots, and hi-vis vests, thereby elevating your risks as an employer or manager by an unacceptable margin.
You’ve recognised dangerous gaps in compliance evidence collection and need a system that will ensure every reportable or potentially reportable event is properly recorded.
As we’ve stated, it’s sometimes physically impossible to enforce PPE adherence, especially for supervisors responsible for large, complex, or multi-entry-point sites.
Reliance on manual reporting and declarations is unreliable, and upgrading to automated, digital PPE detection delivers compelling improvements over outdated systems.
You’re responsible for work teams with elevated risk and need to be 100% confident that everyone on site is fully complying with stringent PPE and safety protocols.
Depending on your sector or site, you may have pre-planned inspections or be concerned about the likelihood of non-notified audits and need to be prepared for this with appropriate evidence at any point.
Trainees, juniors, temporary hires, and subcontractors are subject to the same PPE rules as everyone else, and you need a way to ensure that enforcement and reporting are streamlined across your site.
False alarms in low-risk zones disrupt operations and waste resources, whereas advanced PPE detection ensures monitoring is customised to each zone and based on specific rules and parameters.
You’re looking for a budget-friendly, always-on PPE detection system that won’t require additional time commitments or resources allocated from busy management teams.
PPE detection is an appropriate resolution for all of these challenges, and if you’d like further advice about specific issues you may be dealing with, you are welcome to get in touch.

Be immediately notified when workers are non-compliant, with alerts for instances when individuals are not wearing hi-vis or hard hats, both of which are common risk points.
Automated alerts ensure strong compliance with HSE, insurance, and audit expectations while preventing the risk of non-PPE usage being overlooked or forgotten.
Filter out false alerts and serious health and safety issues instantly, with leading-edge technology that performs multi-site, whole-personnel checks continuously at a fraction of the cost of manual checks.
Remove latency and processing times with direct Edge data management or cloud-based video storage, as is most suitable to ensure secure data transmissions and immediate access.
Define PPE requirements for each part of your site, with flexible detection rules tailored to your facility’s protocols and monitoring parameters for each area or project.
Augment real-time alerts for high-risk zones and spaces, with increased monitoring and PPE scrutiny for highway workers operating remotely, and AI-backed detection of anomalies in areas with elevated safety threats.
Avoid false positives or ambiguity about non-compliance accusations with clear, high-resolution imagery and video footage to support alerts and disciplinary action.
Combine PPE detection with Technology Towers, CCTV Analytics, Crowd Control Analytics and Access Controls to reinforce all-site safety standards and monitoring.
Access reports, footage, live feeds, and reporting from any location, with remote dashboards suitable for supervisors responsible for remote-working teams and on-site highways maintenance crews.
Cover multiple sites, facilities or construction zones simultaneously with location-specific monitoring parameters and collated information transmitted to one unified dashboard.
PPE detection systems integrate easily with existing CCTV towers and surveillance solutions, with API compatibility to enable data exchange and information sharing between systems and devices.
Ensure regulatory compliance with automated, accurate recording of all near-misses to further improve compliance, enforcement, and workforce education.



Clearway has decades of expertise in safety management, security, and risk mitigation across some of the most demanding industrial, engineering, and construction environments. We provide cutting-edge AI-enabled PPE detection to keep workers and site visitors safe.
Construction sites and developments are high-risk settings, and PPE detection is essential to ensure non-compliance is never a factor, not least because the HSE recorded 35 fatalities in 2024/25, accounting for 28% of all at-work deaths.
National Highways recorded a steep rise in incursions, where vehicles enter protected road working zones, increasing 300% in 2024. Supervisors and managers have a duty of care to ensure all contractors and work teams are always equipped with and using the necessary PPE.
Non-compliance with employer duties and legal responsibilities carries serious consequences, all of which PPE detection can help prevent. In the last 12 months, the safety executive has issued fines totalling over £33 million, with targeted action in areas such as machine safety, where cases and near-misses have been rising.
Businesses and workforce planners who implement PPE detection ensure compliance, and can take swift, decisive action to address non-compliance to rest assured that they are demonstrating their commitment to safe working.

Clearway supports diverse sectors requiring rapid security deployment. Our clients include construction companies, property developers, event organisers, and facility managers who need reliable surveillance solutions. We’re trusted by:


Our UK Sales Director, Kelvin Danton, explains why building site security is so important.
Understanding the benefits of PPE and liability insurance for your business can significantly reduce the risk of injury and claims in the construction sector. Wearing the correct PPE not only reduces workplace injuries and, in turn, absence, but also helps companies avoid prosecutions, fines, and legal fees.
We work with clients of all sizes across sectors and can provide tailored guidance on request, particularly for those seeking assurance on GDPR and data protection compliance, and clients in need of video-based analytics to enhance safety management.

Advanced AI-enabled detection can identify a broad range of PPE items, devices, and clothing, always programmed to your requirements. This can include hard hats, safety footwear, protective clothing, high-visibility garments and vests, and other protective gear you may use on your site.
AI detection is highly accurate and continuously scans large workforces, complex layouts, and multiple areas throughout the working day or over the programmed timeframe. This ensures that supervisors and managers don’t have the time burden of manually monitoring compliance at all times, and instead receive automated alerts supported by video evidence.
Of course – it’s very normal for businesses and construction sites to have different PPE requirements, with stricter rules for high-risk work areas and more general rules for areas away from work phases, heavy machinery, excavations, and heat sources.
Alerts are transmitted automatically and immediately, enabling supervisors and management within the group to intervene, rather than reviewing retrospective reports that include PPE non-compliance incidents that have already occurred.
Absolutely, and having clear, documented reporting for inspectors and auditors may be paramount, especially for businesses concerned about their liabilities arising from legal notices, enforcement actions, or fines.
Audit trails show when alerts were issued, the reasons, and captures of the non-compliance issue, and can be used to evidence the action taken by the responsible party to enforce PPE adherence and prevent recurrence.
