Abstract

Ensuring proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), especially helmets, is essential for workplace safety. Conventional object detectors often fail to distinguish whether a helmet is worn correctly, and existing approaches relying on single-model pipelines are prone to localization errors and false alarms. Moreover, most prior studies do not guarantee real-time performance. To resolve these challenges, we propose a lightweight multimodal approach that integrates a YOLO11-based object detector with a pose estimation model, achieving higher F1 scores and lower false alarm rates while maintaining real-time performance.
