Abstract
Together with industry experts, we are exploring the potential of
head-mounted augmented reality to facilitate safety inspections on high-rise
construction sites. A particular concern in the industry is inspecting
perimeter safety screens on higher levels of construction sites, intended to
prevent falls of people and objects. We aim to support workers performing this
inspection task by tracking which parts of the safety screens have been
inspected. We use machine learning to automatically detect gaps in the
perimeter screens that require closer inspection and remediation and to
automate reporting. This work-in-progress paper describes the problem, our
early progress, concerns around worker privacy, and the possibilities to
mitigate these.
