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 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.
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.
How does AI enable health and safety?
SparkCognition’s AI for health and safety solutions harnesses the power of advanced computer vision and visual AI technologies to proactively identify and prevent unsafe acts, near misses, and unsafe conditions.
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 workplace safety, your culture, and day-to-day training and work practices. Visual AI-based technology can automate identifying and prioritizing hazards or unsafe practices/locations, enabling your managers to address them proactively—reducing the chance of incidents occurring.

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 to reduced incident costs/claims, higher employee retention, and reduced turnover and retraining costs.

Step 1: DEPLOY VISUAL AI ADVISOR TO AUTOMATE HSE REPORTING
Visual AI Advisor has use cases for near misses, unsafe acts, accident detection, fires, falls, spills, PPE compliance, and more. Once the solution is deployed, Visual AI Advisor tracks these use cases throughout your facility, alerting appropriate stakeholders when a use case is detected.
Step 2: PROACTIVELY STOP UNSAFE ACTS AND NEAR MISSES, ANALYZING TRENDS
Visual AI Advisor automatically tracks unsafe acts and near misses, alerting line managers and workers of dangerous behaviors and situations. Using this information, HSE managers can proactively stop accidents and analyze trends based on accident type, location, and time series data. Visual AI Advisor is always on and never loses focus, staying vigilant even as workers tire.
Step 3: IENHANCE HSE PROGRAM GAPS AND MEASURE THE IMPACT
With this reporting system, HSE managers can enhance training programs, compliance procedures, and other HSE programs to reduce overall risk. HSE managers can then quantify these improvements using Visual AI Advisor’s dashboard and report ROI to management.
