About Safety Shield Global Limited
Human Form Recognition
Across high-risk industries like construction, agriculture and waste management, PPI incidents remain one of the most serious causes of harm in the workplace. Even with robust systems and diligent safety leadership, the risks persists, and consequences can be severe. Safety Shield’s human form recognition AI, a world-first innovation, acts as a “third eye” for operators, detecting people in outer and high-risk zones to prevent accidents.
Workforce Management
Safety Shield Global is a pioneering force in AI industrial solutions. We are transforming how people act and behave around machines, with intelligent systems, real insights, and measurable safety outcomes resulting in real behavioural change.
Nexus Risk Categorisation
Nexus represents the next generation of AI safety at the industrial edge, transforming complex site data into clear, real-time understanding of risk.
Reporting and Analysis
Our VUE Portal is the most powerful way to understand the insights on your worksite safety risks and fleet movements.
Learning and Solutions
On the ground training for machine operators, operatives and those who run daily checks on the machines.
OEM Integration
Integration is the key to success, whether it be on the hardware, software or partnership level. Integrated systems have wider reach, add significant value and are easier to support.
We're redefining standards and driving industries forward
Agriculture & Forestry Safety
Agriculture accounts for only 1% of the UK workforce but nearly 20% of all workplace deaths. In 2024-25, 23 farm workers lost their lives in Great Britain, with moving or overturning vehicles the leading cause.
Construction Safety
Construction remains one of the most dangerous industries. Safety Shield Global has been at the forefront of reducing People‑Plant Interface (PPI) risk, achieving a massive 88% reduction in at-risk behaviours.
Docks and Ports Safety
Docks and shipping ports are high-risk environments where people work in close proximity to heavy machinery, creating significant People-Plant Interface (PPI) hazards. These pressures make ports ideal environments for advanced AI-driven safety solutions.
Highways Safety
Highways worksites face significant safety challenges, especially during night-time operations where reduced visibility, tight workzones, and widely spread equipment increase risk. Our intelligent, real-time solutions protect people, secure assets, and keep operations running safely, with deployments on major UK projects including the A66, Thames Gateway, and A439.
Industrial and Warehousing Safety
Industrial and warehousing sites face constant safety and security challenges, with forklifts, machinery, and pedestrian movement in busy, confined spaces. Safety Shield’s AI-powered solutions, including human detection and traffic light entry systems, help protect people, safeguard assets, and manage site access, promoting safer, more controlled operations.
Quarrying, Mining and Aggregates Safety
In quarries and mining sites, complex terrain, heavy machinery, and high-risk zones create constant hazards for people and equipment.
Rail Safety
Rail worksites present unique safety and operational challenges, with personnel working alongside high-risk machinery in complex track environments. Having supported major UK civil projects such as HS2 and Sizewell, Safety Shield understands the demands of rail sites.
Safety in Utilities
Utility worksites bring together confined spaces, buried services, live infrastructure, and constant movement of plant, creating persistent risks for teams on the ground. Safety Shield’s AI-powered solutions help reduce these dangers by detecting human presence around machinery, providing real-time insights, and supporting safer behaviours across power, water, and telecoms operations.

Safety Shield Global, the pioneering force behind AI-powered safety solutions for People-Plant Interface (PPI), has today launched Safety Shield Nexus – a next-generation edge AI intelligence platform which transforms how industrial safety data is interpreted, prioritised and acted upon in real time.
Built specifically for high-risk environments including construction, infrastructure and heavy industry, Nexus addresses one of the sector’s biggest emerging challenges: data overload.
While modern projects generate thousands of daily safety signals, alerts and incursions, only a small percentage require immediate intervention. Nexus acts as the intelligence layer within the Safety Shield ecosystem, filtering and contextualising live operational data so frontline teams can focus only on the incidents that matter most.
Developed using advanced Edge AI running on NVIDIA hardware alongside Safety Shield software, Nexus builds on the company’s Human Form Recognition (HFR) technology by introducing contextual, scenario-based intelligence.
Rather than simply identifying when an event occurs, Nexus analyses what happened, where it happened, and the level of operational risk involved. By combining human detection, object recognition and scenario-based risk scoring, the system automatically classifies incidents into low, medium, high or critical risk categories.
Live infrastructure trials are currently being held on a major UK infrastructure project, with initial trial data showing a 95% reduction in safety data noise, enabling site teams to focus exclusively on critical risks requiring immediate intervention.
High-priority incidents are escalated instantly to frontline teams through Safety Shield’s S.T.R.E.A.M app, supporting rapid responses and at-risk behavioural interventions on site.
Nexus has been designed as a domain-specific AI platform, operating solely within a client’s own operational environment and live site data. The platform does not rely on public internet models or external datasets, ensuring that all intelligence remains site-specific and operationally relevant.
It also enables clients to converge wider operational intelligence streams – including safety, telematics, environmental monitoring and carbon reporting – into a single live platform.
Jonathan Guest, founder and CEO of Safety Shield Global, said: “Nexus is the next generation of Human Form Recognition. It transforms how safety data is analysed and ensures the people who need to know about immediate danger are informed instantly.
“Initial testing shows Nexus can reduce the number of incidents requiring workforce action by up to 95%, ensuring only the most critical events are escalated while everything else is retained safely for future analysis.
“My mission has never changed – to stop plant hitting people. Any death or life-changing injury is one too many. These incidents are always avoidable, and Nexus is a major step towards making that a reality.”
Founded in 2018 following the death of a close friend in an excavator-related incident, Safety Shield Global has become one of the UK’s leading developers of AI-powered People-Plant Interface (PPI) safety systems.
With Nexus, the company is aiming to move the industry beyond detection-based safety systems towards real-time operational intelligence designed to prevent incidents before they happen.
NEXUS - 10 KEY POINTS:
- Next-generation intelligence platform that fundamentally changes how industrial safety data is interpreted, prioritised and acted upon.
- Across construction and heavy industry, the challenge is no longer a lack of data; it is knowing what to do with it.
- Nexus is an intelligence layer, using edge AI, which can convert overwhelming amounts of data into clear, prioritised, actionable insight in real time.
- Takes Safety Shield Global’s industry-leading Human Form Recognition (HFR) technology to the next level – moving from detection alone to contextual, scenario-based intelligence.
- By combining human detection, object detection and a scenario-based risk-scoring system, Nexus automatically classifies incidents into low, medium, high or critical risk, ensuring that only genuinely serious near misses are escalated.
- The result is transformational: Up to a 90-95% reduction in data congestion and alerts requiring action.
- In association with leading contractors and plant hire organisations, Nexus is currently being trialled on a major UK infrastructure project, where initial trials show a 95% reduction in safety data noise.
- Only the highest-priority incidents are escalated in real time to frontline teams via Safety Shield’s award-winning S.T.R.E.A.M app, enabling immediate, in-context responses and meaningful at-risk conversations – driving real behavioural change where it matters most
