Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a system for procedures, education, confirmation, etc. related to worker authentication and safety management for preventing industrial accidents of construction site workers (including other workers) in the construction industry.

The direct causes of occupational accidents in the construction industry are human factors such as incorrect work methods and violations of safety rules, and physical factors such as equipment defects. Most occupational accidents are caused by human factors, such as improper installation, use, maintenance, inspection, etc. of equipment, machine tools, raw materials, etc.

According to the Industrial Safety and Health Law of Japan, it is stipulated that work methods should be established and made known before the start of work at construction sites. It is obligatory to hold "new employee education,""safety and health council,""accident prevention council," and "discharge education" to prevent occupational accidents, such as education when hiring or changing work content.
The content of each of the "New Visitor Education,""Health and Safety Council,""Accident Prevention Council," and "Dispatch Training," is to convey construction drawings and work schedules for the work site, and to fill in the personal information of workers. , Watching safety education videos, etc. are analog work.
However, construction sites often start early in the morning, which is a busy time, and it is difficult to say that education is thorough. Pre-work education can be an effective means of preventing work-related accidents, but it is difficult to implement thorough safety education when workers are absent, late, or in poor physical condition. .
In addition, the records of "new entry education", "safety and health council", "accident prevention council", and "sending education" stipulated in the Industrial Safety and Health Act are filled in by workers and documented by managers. In the conventional operation method, procedures such as authentication, management, and confirmation were performed manually, and they were executed individually, resulting in errors and time loss.

In the above technical field, in Patent Document 1, pre-registered face image data is collated with face image data of a person entering and exiting a building obtained by a face authentication device provided at a gate of a building site. A technique for authenticating the entrance and exit of a person is disclosed. Further, Patent Literature 2 discloses a technique for efficiently managing entry and exit of people entering and exiting through simple authentication and registration of entry and exit using a communication terminal carried by the person entering and leaving.

JP 2016-058015 A JP 2020-071814 A

However, with the technique described in the above document, it was necessary to provide a face authentication device at the gate of the building site, and it was not possible to efficiently manage the entry and exit of people entering and exiting the building. In addition, it is possible to efficiently manage the entrance and exit of people entering and exiting using the communication terminals carried by those entering and exiting, but the purpose of managing people entering and leaving is originally based on the understanding of safety education. It should be the prevention of occupational accidents.
Therefore, it is required to build an integrated system for worker authentication, management, shared awareness of safety education, confirmation, etc. by cloud, center, equipment, and various terminals.

An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for solving the above problems.

The cloud, center, facilities, and various terminals are operated by an integrated system.
Utilization of the convenience of the cloud is optional, and the establishment of the center will be operated in response to the number and continuity of work sites. Equipment is installed at the gate of the workshop or at any suitable location within the workshop.
The various terminals are portable information terminals, and are operated by administrators, workers, and the like.

According to the system that implements the present invention, it is typically a construction site, but at other general work sites, it is possible to confirm the understanding of matters related to safety, the confirmation of the intention to comply, and the presence or absence of qualifications to enter the work site. confirmation, etc., are reliably and efficiently executed without loss of time.

Examples of the present invention

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a work place, 2 is a center, 3 is a cloud, 4 is a facility 1, 5 is a facility 2, 6 is a facility 3, 7 is a terminal 1, and 8 is a terminal 2.
The center, cloud, facilities 1, 2 and 3 (hereinafter referred to as facilities) and terminals 1 and 2 (hereinafter referred to as terminals) have input units for inputting workplaces, workers, work details, safety and management matters and other predetermined information. The storage unit has means for storing programs, related information, and data for operating the system, and the central processing unit performs performance, search, collation, authorization, output, and processing for executing the program for operating the system. Equipped with means for display, storage, and other processing, the output and display unit outputs and sends information data to the center, cloud, equipment, terminal output, and display unit, and the output and display unit is the information , means for outputting and displaying data.

The workplace 1 may be indoors or outdoors, and it is arbitrary whether there are multiple locations. The center 2 may be installed close to the work place or remotely. The cloud 3 is used depending on the characteristics of the data to be stored and the presence or absence of cooperation with other external systems.
The facilities 1, 2, and 3 of 4, 5, and 6 are installed at appropriate locations depending on the object of authentication and the content of management.
The terminals 1 and 2 of 7 and 8 have different functions depending on whether the administrator or the administrator is in charge, or the level of accessible information or data.

The present invention is typically practiced at a construction related workshop. Businesses, operations, work, etc. are shared according to various contracts, and various types of information and data are given. They have different authority and responsibilities, and there are various duties, tasks, and matters to be confirmed. In particular, safety-related communications and receipts are required to be rigorous.

The following description is based on generalized terminology.
The terminal is preferably a mobile terminal, and may be a smart phone or any other device. Terminals and equipment have means (functions) for transmitting and receiving the information (including various types of data hereinafter). As an example, items to be confirmed such as personal authentication, position, duties, authority, etc. of persons (managers, managed persons, etc.) carrying terminals are mutually transmitted and received and checked. In addition to the above items checked between equipment and terminals, there are also cases in which a center or a cloud is intervened depending on the type and level of items.

As a specific example, it is applied to check various people who can enter the work place, and the attributes (face, fingerprint, iris, name, age, job title, work content/change instructions, etc.) are authenticated. The worker is notified (sent) to the center (hereinafter including the cloud, etc.) by the administrator. Generally, the ID given to the worker, biometric attributes, and the like are checked.
Here, biometric attributes (face, fingerprint, iris, etc.) will be described as an example. (For example, a simple system that inputs information (biological attributes) to equipment instead of the center is also possible.) The information notified to the center is used for checking whether or not to allow entry and confirmation, and is installed in an appropriate place. delivered to the installed equipment. The facility has a necessary function to identify the biometric attributes of the worker, and checks it by a predetermined operation or presentation. When the biometric attribute is authenticated, entry is permitted and recorded, and a predetermined notification (transmission) is made. When the biometric attributes are different and not authenticated, a predetermined warning, alert, notification, capture, or the like is provided. In addition to the identification of biometric attributes, it is desirable to use confirmation by personal identification number (a different number given to each worker) in a procedure independent of the system of this system.

In addition to equipment for checking whether or not to allow entry, it is also possible to equip equipment at appropriate locations in the workshop and perform checks according to needs at the location.
Confidentiality, accuracy, difficulty of work, presence or absence of authority, qualifications, etc. are checked by the equipment through predetermined operations and functions by combining biometrics, IDs, passwords, etc.

As an example, the center (including the cloud and equipment) and the terminal can transmit and receive and check.
Matters to be confirmed include whether or not entry is possible, qualifications, authority, and other matters that the worker should receive and understand.
A common example is safety concerns.
This is an example where it is necessary to confirm the intention to understand and comply with the matter when entering the work site.
This matter requires considerable time and is difficult to confirm with on-site equipment. On-site confirmation should be done by reconfirming the prior check, and safety-related matters are sent from the center to the terminal, and approval notifications to the effect that the worker understands and complies with the matter are sent to the terminal. It will be entered and sent to the center to be qualified for admission.

Whether the worker is given a unique ID and PIN, the terminal is identified, or the worker's biometric attribute is added to the check is selected depending on the system specifications when admission is granted. be. It is advisable to require a prescribed operation as proof that the worker understands the matters related to safety and has shown the intention to comply with them. It can also be performed by tapping on the display of the mobile terminal, inputting a designated number, or by predetermined input or operation on the equipment.

Examples of work sites located in multiple locations, examples of centralizing management and authority, examples of dealing with dynamic events such as weather, accidents, changes, etc., examples of scheduling work succession, qualifications and privileges given to workers , work content, ID, etc. are changed, and there are examples of checking workers who perform work without entering the work site, etc., and this system can be applied to deal with each case. .
