1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of data inputs from a plurality of data input devices in an industrial site;
selecting, by the computing device, a data model, from one or more data models, that has been trained on training data for industrial sites and that is programmed to detect activities or objects associated with workers or equipment present at the industrial sites;
applying, by the computing device, the plurality of data inputs to the data model and evaluating the data model with the data inputs to result in receiving output data specifying whether the plurality of data inputs indicates one or more activities or objects associated with workers or the equipment present at the industrial site;
in response to determining that the output data indicates the one or more activities or objects associated with the workers or the equipment present at the industrial site:
based on the output data, determining one or more characteristics of the one or more activities or objects;
accessing a data repository that stores one or more mappings of risk-prone characteristics onto risks posed at the industrial sites;
determining that the data repository comprises one or more entries that include any of the one or more characteristics;
in response to determining that the data repository comprises the one or more entries that include any of the one or more characteristics:
identifying one or more risk identifiers included in the one or more entries;
returning the one or more risk identifiers as indications of one or more productivity, health, or safety risks posed in the industrial site; and
based on the returned risk identifiers, determining that the one or more activities or objects cause one or more productivity, health, or safety risks at the industrial site;
in response to determining that the one or more activities or objects cause one or more productivity, health, or safety risks at the industrial site:
generating one or more notifications that indicate the one or more productivity, health or safety risks at the industrial site; and
transmitting the one or more notifications to notification recipients.
