Sentinel watches your existing site cameras for missing PPE, equipment proximity, and exclusion-zone breaches, then records the correction. You end up with a documented find-and-fix history, not another wall of alerts.
Runs on hardware you control. Your footage never leaves your site.
A logged violation with no recorded fix isn't an asset. It's a liability. What carriers, GCs, and OSHA actually credit is a program that finds hazards and demonstrably resolves them. Sentinel builds that record automatically, for every flag.
A documented safety program is what bends your experience-modification rating down, which is what bends your premiums down.
A clean, evidenced record clears the safety prequalification gates that decide which contractors are even allowed to bid.
Retention and reporting were designed with an OSHA defense attorney. A documented correction is your shield. An unfixed, known hazard is the real exposure.
Each detection becomes a tracked item: when it was flagged, who closed it out, and how long it took. The headline metric isn't a violation count. It's your Find-Fix Rate, the share of hazards that got resolved.
Hardhat and vest checks, worker-to-equipment distance, and exclusion-zone breaches.
Every hazard carries a status, a timestamp, and a measured time-to-fix.
One click produces an OSHA-referenced report marked Business Confidential.
Four steps, running on the cameras you already have, with no new hardware to install.
Each detection opens an item the field team can close. Here are two real categories, and how they move from flagged to corrected.
Video is processed on infrastructure you control and never leaves your network.
Works with the IP cameras already mounted on your site, so there's nothing to procure.
Connect feeds, set your zones, and start building the record the same afternoon.
Reports are marked Business Confidential, with retention defaults shaped by OSHA defense counsel.
Who's building this
UC Berkeley EECS ’26 LinkedIn
Sentinel started as a computer vision research project at Berkeley. It became a company after I watched safety managers spend their days proving, by hand and from hours of footage, that hazards on their sites actually got handled. That proof is the thing the industry runs on, so I set out to generate it automatically.
