ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a vision-based framework for worker safety-state recognition and risk-aware decision support using helmet detection. The proposed method classifies worker head regions into helmet and no-helmet states using YOLOv8-based object detection models and uses the detection results as input to a downstream decision module. Experiments on a public safety helmet dataset showed that YOLOv8s achieved the most balanced performance, with an mAP@50 of 0.933 and a no-helmet recall of 0.867, while robustness analysis showed that noise and occlusion caused the largest performance degradation. In the simulation-based downstream decision experiment, the proposed method reduced both safety violations and unsafe exposure time to zero under the tested simulation settings, while achieving a shorter completion time than the distance-only strategy. These results indicate that helmet-state recognition can provide useful contextual information for simulation-based industrial safety monitoring and risk-aware decision support.
