contents Hazard, as an abstract concept, is typically defined through cognitive-level logical reasoning rather than concrete examples. In contrast, existing hazard detection systems rely on predefined hazard categories and require intensive collection of labelled examples within detection or classification architectures. This approach faces three fundamental challenges when addressing abstract safety concepts: (1) noisy and sparse training data, (2) dynamically evolving definitions that change across contexts and time, and (3) limited generalisation to unseen or novel scenarios. To address these limitations, we present the CompliVision dataset, the first general-purpose hazard dataset designed for rule-based compliance assessment, along with a baseline framework for hazard evaluation. Our key innovation is decoupling the hazard concept from image-based examples by expressing safety requirements through language-based rules. We ground our approach in authoritative domain regulations and ISO standards to define diverse hazard concepts across multiple domains. The CompliVision dataset comprises 3,006 images spanning traffic, construction, and warehouse environments, with each image annotated for compliance against specific safety rules, accompanied by natural language explanations highlighting the supporting visual evidence. To achieve robust generalisation, we develop an active learning framework to more effectively guide and refine vision-language models in assessing hazard compliance. While state-of-the-art VLMs demonstrate strong capabilities, they struggle with the fine-grained, context-dependent interpretation required for accurate safety assessment. We proposed a general hazard detection framework to address this limitation which combines LLaVA-based visual reasoning with with human-in-the-loop feedback.
