bring this infrastructure to life. These systems
must be made interactive and used by agents
in a command center setting to maximize their
effectiveness, efficiency and to make them truly
worthwhile. Everything needs to be live monitored
by highly trained command center staff.
More Than Just Security
The purpose of RVM is to proactively prevent
or react to security events, now in real-time.
Tools that make this possible include artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and
other advanced video analytics. Applied to surveillance
cameras and other security infrastructure,
like electromagnetic door locks, intrusion
detection, perimeter detection, GPS devices
and more, advanced video analytics can filter
abnormal activity from normal activity.
RVM or proactive video monitoring (PVM)
proves its value in more than securing and protecting
physical property. Video monitoring
can add value to security solutions by increasing
the return on security investments, or ROSI.
This might include the prevention of workplace
injuries and the insurance that state, local and
company mandated compliance policies and
procedures are being followed in a workplace.
Compliance violations and workplace injury
lawsuits can bring great monetary loss to organizations
and negatively impact their reputation.
In " How Video Analytics Add Value to
Your Solutions " for SSI, Bruce Ericson states,
" Compliance violations and lawsuits can cost
companies billions, not to mention lost profits
due to a damaged reputation. Video analytics
help ensure compliance with federal, local and
industry-specific mandates while also protecting
organizations, and their CEOs, from damaging
lawsuits. "
Video analytics and the monitoring and storage
of video footage allows organizations to prevent
workplace accidents, investigate accidents
after they have occurred, and observe that all
safety and compliance procedures are always adhered
to. Through surveillance cameras and other
security infrastructure, employers can monitor
a site for safety hazards. This might include
environmental factors like spills, wet floors, or
storage and handling of hazardous materials. By
proactively monitoring and removing hazards
that could lead to an injury, employers can avoid
workplace injuries and the financial and reputational
strain that can often follow.
Additionally, PVM can monitor employee besecuritysales.com
haviors
to ensure that Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) and other safety
and compliance regulations are being adhered
to. This includes making sure employees are
wearing proper personal protective equipment
(PPE), which may consist of gloves, safety glasses
and shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators,
or coveralls, vests, and full body suits. For
certain workplaces and industries, wearing proper-fitting
clothing can also be important in preventing
work-related injuries. PVM can observe
these behaviors and report them to employers to
address their employees to prevent injury that
could occur from failure to comply.
Ericson also argues, " Slip and fall and other
workplace injury lawsuits leveled against organizations
are unfortunately not uncommon.
While video evidence can help refute company
liability in such an event, it is often not enough.
Video analytics can prevent incidents before
they get to the point of litigation, before they
occur, by proactively identifying an employee
engaging in prohibited behavior (i.e., not wearing
the proper protective gear or entering restricted
areas). "
Applied to
surveillance
cameras and
other security
infrastructure, like
electromagnetic
door locks,
intrusion detection,
perimeter
detection, GPS
devices and more,
advanced video
analytics can filter
abnormal activity
from normal
activity.
The priority in workplace injuries should be
prevention. With PVM, employers can prevent
or reduce workplace accidents, reducing costs
of worker's compensation and giving employees
confidence in their safety. However, if an
accident or injury does occur, PVM can be used
in investigations. Recorded video footage can
be used to determine the cause of an injury or
accident. It can also be used to determine if the
injury claim is fraudulent or honest. Worker's
compensation fraud occurs when an employee
falsely claims a work-related injury or occupational
disease, or when an employee exaggerates
an existing injury or occupational disease.
Workplace injury lawsuits are
a burden for organizations.
Preventing them and
workplace injury fraud
has become a priority for
businesses to protect finances
and reputations.
