What is AI for health and safety?

AI for health and safety harnesses the power of natural language processing and machine learning (ML) technologies to identify potentially hazardous workplace conditions and practices by extracting insights from unstructured information sources, e.g., incident reports, observation cards, etc.

AI for health and safety in oil and gas

EHS optimization is critical in the oil and gas industry, with its inherently hazardous combination of heavy equipment, remote/offshore work environments, and dangerous materials and chemicals.

AI for health and safety in the utility industry

The high-voltage world of electric power demands an unrelenting focus on safety and risk mitigation. AI for health and safety is uniquely equipped to identify these risks and enable safety managers to address them in a timely and efficient manner.

AI for health and safety in the manufacturing industry

The repetitive high-volume processes characteristic of the manufacturing industry frequently result in injuries, worker compensation claims, and subsequent lost work time inefficiencies. AI-driven technology identifies and prioritizes the risks to your business and your staff.

How does AI enable health and safety?

SparkCognition’s AI for health and safety solutions harness the power of natural language processing and machine learning to automatically extract insights from your existing health- and safety-related documents, whether structured or unstructured.

Your health and safety performance directly affects worker productivity and efficiency, as well as the costs associated with accident claims, regulatory non-compliance, and staff morale and retention.

The scope of health and safety includes not only workplace safety but also your culture and day-to-day training and work practices. AI-based technology can automate the identification and prioritization of hazards or unsafe practices/locations, enabling your managers to proactively address them and reduce the chance of incidents.

Drive greater productivity and enhance profitability

Workers are more productive and efficient when they operate in safe environments using safe work practices. Minimizing lost work time due to accidents allows workers to function in a more normal, less hurried mode, which in turn further reduces accident risks.

Enable your safety managers to be more productive and effective

SparkCognition’s AI for health and safety solutions minimize the need for company manager oversight and analytical expertise, allowing them to focus on their core responsibility, i.e., addressing safety and compliance concerns as quickly and effectively as possible, and communicating these safety issues and resulting changes to staff.

Improve employee satisfaction and retention

Companies that focus on optimizing worker safety and the environmental quality of their workplaces are more attractive to employees and contribute not only to reduced incident costs/claims but also higher employee retention and reduced turnover and retraining costs.

Step 1: Identify relevant written documents, reports, etc.

Obtain and ingest unstructured written documents such as incident reports and observation cards, equipping the AI/ML models to identify and flag potentially unsafe or environmental non-compliant situations, practices, or work locations.

Step 2: Use natural language processing to analyze unstructured written documents

Use NLP models to understand, extract, and analyze detailed information from unstructured sources, such as incident reports, observation cards, etc. This allows managers to identify and flag safety issues even more thoroughly by working from the widest possible set of features.

Step 3: Identify and prioritize potential hazards and flag for managerial follow-up

Assess insights from every document, report, etc. to identify, flag, and prioritize any work practices or locations that look potentially unsafe for subsequent corrective action by safety supervisors.
