I&T Wish Intelligent Risk Identification System (IRIS): Agentic AI Safety Advisor for Project and Maintenance Activities
(REF: W-0623)
Matched I&T Solution
Trial Project
Summary and Challenges EMSD seeks a real-time Agentic AI Safety Advisor that uses a wearable AI camera and a smartphone App. IRIS should capture video footage of the work environment and anaylze it in realtime, understand the work task, observe the equipment and surrounding work area and provide frontline staff with real-time safety advice and alerts.
  • Unsafe condition, e.g. an uneven floor, floor opening or obstruction.
  • Breach of safety rule, e.g. the use of a prohibited ordinary A-frame ladder.
  • Missing critical control measure, e.g. where a suitable tool is not being used.
  • Dangerous action by frontline staff, e.g. overreaching while working at height. Frontline staff: “IRIS, what safety controls are required for the equipment in front of me?”
Expected Outcome
  • Real-time safety advice and alerts: IRIS should capture and analyse video of the work environment and staff activities in real time, using Agentic AI and approved EMSD information to provide safety advice and alerts relating to equipment and work conditions.
  • Real-time alerts and escalation: When a risk is identified, IRIS should alert via smartphone App, audible signal and/or vibration. Unresolved Critical alerts should be escalated to the designated supervisor or safety officer.
  • EMSD self-managed hazard Skills: EMSD should be able to train additional hazards and tasks as skills for the Agentic AI without in-house software development and withdraw them through a controlled process.
  • Network, data security and privacy: The solution should provide secure communications for captured video, images, voice inputs and event records. It should automatically mask all faces in live and stored/displayed/shared video and images.
  • Safety certification and reliable design: The device shall be certified safe for EMSD's working environments by a recognized independent third party, and be durable (IP-rated) with built-in or detachable batteries supporting continuous operation per shift.
Expected Trial Duration 12-month
