Passive Construction Site Safety Monitoring via Persona-Scaffolded Adversarial Chain-of-Thought VLM Verification
Construction remains the deadliest industry sector in the United States, with 1,055 fatal worker injuries recorded in 2023, and the majority preventable. Existing monitoring approaches are expensive, require real-time human operators, or address only a narrow subset of violations. This paper presents a passive, end-of-shift construction safety monitoring pipeline processing video from POV body-worn and fixed wall-mounted cameras through a three-stage architecture: (1) fine-tuned YOLO11 for primary PPE and hazard detection, (2) SAM 3 for segmentation refinement and worker deduplication, and (3) Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct with a method-prompted, persona-scaffolded three-pass adversarial chain-of-thought protocol for compliance verification and hallucination control. The principal contribution is the Stage 3 prompt design: professional persona backstories following the method-actor framing drive an observed 12% precision improvement over single-pass prompting in an informal three-author review of the 12-video Ironsite development corpus, with the largest gains on hallucination-prone violation categories. Structural message isolation enforces observational independence between a generator, discriminator, and reconciliation pass governed by asymmetric rules encoding priors about human observation versus automated detection reliability. The system maps violations to OSHA standards, performs REBA-inspired ergonomic risk scoring from pose keypoints, and produces per-worker safety reports with timestamped evidence. An evaluation harness is released for future reproduction.
