First Claim
1. A method of managing hazard in a construction site, the method comprising:
- providing access to a hazard context database that stores a plurality of hazard contexts, each hazard context comprises hazard criteria and hazard attributes;
acquiring, by a sensor interface communicatively coupled with a set of sensors, a site data feed representative of the construction site;
instantiating, by a hazard analysis engine, a hazard object from a hazard context by comparing the site data feed to hazard criteria of the plurality of hazard contexts;
updating, by the hazard analysis engine, hazard attributes associated with the hazard object based on the site data feed and the plurality of hazard contexts;
generating, by the hazard analysis engine, hazard notification criteria related to the hazard object based on the associated hazard attributes;
obtaining, by the hazard analysis engine, worker attributes from the site data; and
transmitting, by the hazard analysis engine, a hazard notification to an output device when the worker attributes cause satisfaction of the hazard notification criteria.

Abstract
A method for managing hazards in a construction site is presented. One aspect of the inventive subject matter includes a hazard management process that utilitizes a hazard context database, a sensor interface, and a hazard analysis engine. The sensor interface is configured to acquire a site data feed that is representative of a construction site. The hazard analysis engine is configured to (i) instantiate a hazard object by comparing the site data feed to hazard criteria of the plurality of hazard contexts, (ii) update the hazard object based on the site data feed, (iii) generate hazard notification criteria related to the hazard object, (iv) obtain worker attributes from the site data, and (v) transmit a hazard notification to an output device when the worker attributes cause satisfaction of the hazard notification criteria.
