Abstract Construction sites are among the most hazardous working environments, where failure to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can lead to serious injuries and safety violations. Manual monitoring of PPE compliance is often labor intensive, subjective, and difficult to maintain across large and dynamic construction environments. Recent advances in deep learning and computer vision provide effective solutions for automatically detecting safety equipment from visual data. In this study, a deep learning based object detection approach using the YOLO26 architecture is investigated for detecting PPE and related safety violations in construction environments.
The model is trained and evaluated on the Construction Site Safety dataset, which contains annotated images representing ten classes such as Hardhat, Mask, Safety Vest, Person, and non-compliance categories including NO-Hardhat and NO-Mask. Targeted data augmentation and mixed-precision training are employed to improve model robustness and training efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate strong detection performance, achieving a mean Average Precision (mAP@50) of 85.39%, precision of 86.69%, and recall of 78.68%. The results indicate that the proposed approach provides an efficient and scalable solution for automated PPE compliance monitoring in construction environments.
