The Construction Industry Plant Safety Group has published Good Practice Guidance for the Use of Machine-Mounted Human Form Recognition Systems.

Human form recognition systems (HFRS) in construction use cameras and sensors to identify people near machinery, alerting operators and others to potential hazards.

extends to more than 50 pages and provides advice to plant owners, users, operators, managers, manufacturers and third-party suppliers about considerations for the fitment, use and management of human form recognition systems installed on plant to detect and warn of human presence in defined danger zones.

Being struck by a moving vehicle still accounts for many workplace fatalities, for which HFRS is being increasingly used as an aid to minimise contact between workers and others in the vicinity of active construction plant.

Although segregation control measures remain the main course of action of keeping workers and others away from active plant, individuals can still potentially enter the danger zone of a machine, sometimes without the operator鈥檚 knowledge, due to the configuration or design build of the machine or accidental breaches.

As human form recognition systems are becoming more common place in construction, and as the technology is continually evolving at pace, a large and working group was formed to help develop a consistent approach to the fitment and use of HFRS.聽 The group came together under the management of the Construction Industry Plant Safety Group, consisting of 25 representatives from plant owners, construction contractors, OEM/equipment suppliers and the HSE, along with other supporters, to devise the guidance.

Flannery Plant head of skills and training Aaron Davis is chair of the HFRS working group. He said: 鈥淏orne of a need to generate consistency within industry, the working group started work on the guidance in late September 2024 and although a challenging piece of work, the publication has been produced in good time.

鈥淲e recognise that HFRS are still an emerging technology and with limited applicable standards currently available, some of the technical specifications within the publication are currently an industry aspiration. However, the overall aim is to meet the needs of the sector in providing reliable and accurate systems. Although HFRS are currently only safety aids to people/plant interface requirements, OEMs and suppliers are working in partnership with the sector to encourage future development of trustworthy products and systems.鈥�

He added: 鈥淎lthough the guidance is both comprehensive and technical in nature, our next task is to produce a companion summary publication that outlines the key points of HFRS use. With the technology fast-moving, we further intend to undertake a review programme of the publication in approximately 12 months鈥� time.鈥�

The guidance document is available via the Construction Plant-hire Association at .
