The ROI of Visual AI for HSE: Unlocking the Power of Data

Webinar Summary

In today’s industrial landscape, OSHA programs are the guardians of workplace well-being – safeguarding employees – and productivity. Yet, these programs are often perceived as opaque cost avoidance strategies, especially because quantifying their return on investment is daunting. Still, the direct cost of an average injury is $42,000, with indirect costs ranging from two to 10 times the direct cost, or $80,000-$420,000.

Enter visual artificial intelligence, the technology to clarify cloudy value measurements and key performance indicators. Visual AI uses an organization’s existing cameras to analyze video feeds in real time, identifying everything from a near miss and a man down to a trip hazard or unexpected fire-causing spark. In turn, these insights can be used to measure the effectiveness of new environmental, health and safety initiatives and programs.
