What Is the Line of Fire?
Line of fire definition: the area or path in which a worker is exposed to the energy of a moving object, released pressure, falling material, or swinging load. If a hazardous energy release or movement occurs and a worker is in the line of fire, injury is highly likely.
Common Line of Fire Hazards
-
Working beneath suspended loads (crane lifts, elevated materials)
-
Standing in the path of a moving vehicle or swinging equipment
-
Working in front of pressurised lines or vessels (hydraulic, pneumatic, steam)
-
Using tools that could slip and strike the worker (chisels, grinders)
-
Standing downhill on a slope where objects could roll
-
Working near rope, chain, or cable under tension that could snap
How AI Detects Line-of-Fire Exposures
Safvr's computer vision platform identifies workers positioned in line-of-fire zones — such as below crane lift paths, in front of reversing vehicles, or within falling-object exclusion areas — and triggers instant alerts. The system detects these exposures in real time, enabling intervention before harm occurs.
