In a significant step toward strengthening workplace safety, Vedanta Group has adopted cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to proactively monitor and mitigate potential hazards across its operational sites. This move is part of the conglomerate’s broader digital transformation strategy to embed safety into the core of its operations.
The company has implemented AI-powered computer vision systems that can detect high-risk behaviors, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) compliance violations, and unsafe working conditions in real time. These systems are currently active in critical areas such as mining zones, manufacturing units, and energy plants.
By leveraging machine learning models, the system generates alerts and insights, enabling on-ground teams to take immediate corrective action. The data also contributes to pattern analysis, helping Vedanta to design more preventive safety interventions and reduce workplace incidents.
According to the company, this digital-first approach allows for:
- 24/7 monitoring of high-risk environments
- Reduction in manual supervision burden
- Greater transparency and accountability in safety protocols
- Real-time alerts for quicker decision-making
Vedanta’s use of AI in safety management reflects a growing trend in the Indian industry, where automation and intelligent systems are being utilized to protect the workforce, boost compliance, and build safer work cultures.
With this move, Vedanta positions itself among the few Indian conglomerates actively integrating Industry 4.0 principles into environmental, health, and safety (EHS) operations.
