We’re pleased to share that Barton Kartoz, Vertical Market Director at Minuteman Security & Life Safety, was recently published in the July 2025 issue of Waste Advantage Magazine. His article, “Moving Safety Tech from Reactive to Preventive,” explores a groundbreaking shift in how waste and recycling facilities can use video analytics to proactively prevent accidents and save lives.
The waste industry remains one of the most dangerous work environments in the U.S., but many facilities still rely on outdated surveillance used only after an incident occurs. Barton’s article shows how AI-driven video platforms can spot problems in real-time, detecting PPE non-compliance, unsafe vehicle movements, lithium-ion battery combustion risks, and more.
Better yet, upgrading to analytics may cost as little as 16% more than a traditional system, especially if your current cameras are already in place.
“This is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve safety outcomes,” Barton says. “You’re not just recording incidents—you’re preventing them.”
As a leader in industrial safety and security solutions, Minuteman is at the forefront of helping waste facilities transform passive video systems into proactive safety tools. Our expertise in design, deployment, and training ensures you get the most out of every camera, every alert, and every dollar invested.
