Guest: Paul Thurber
Title: How computer vision is changing industrial safety in real time – A Conversation with Everguard’s Paul Thurber
Summary:

What if the next serious injury at a high-hazard worksite could be prevented before it ever happens? In this episode of the Connected Workers Podcast, Andrew Chrostowski talks with Paul Thurber, Senior Vice President at Everguard, about how computer vision and AI are helping industrial teams detect danger in real time—from missing PPE and unsafe behavior to heat anomalies that can signal a fire risk and even automatically respond with countermeasures!
They also explore the big questions leaders face when introducing this technology: privacy, cybersecurity, worker trust, and how to use AI as an enhancement to, not a replacement for, strong safety culture.
If your organization is looking for practical ways to move from reactive safety to proactive prevention, this conversation is essential listening.

In August 2020, Andrea Hine was a shift supervisor fighting a plant fire with nothing but a handheld radio, describing a live, shifting scene to engineers who could see nothing. That night convinced her frontline workers deserve better.
After leading one of the industry’s largest connected-worker programs (10,000+ devices and $200M in efficiencies), she left a senior corporate career to build open-source physical AI that puts real intelligence where the work actually happens.

In this episode, Andrea explains why most industrial AI still fails the field test — and what it takes to build tools that operators actually use.
