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

Webinar Summary

In today’s industrial landscape, OSH is the guardian of workplace wellbeing, safeguarding employees, and productivity. Yet, OSH programs are often perceived as a compliance exercise, especially since quantifying their return on investment (ROI) can be elusive. Still, the direct cost of an average workplace injury is £35,000, with indirect costs ranging from 2-10 times that.

Enter next-generation computer vision. Visual AI uses an organization’s existing cameras to analyze video feeds in real-time, identifying everything from a near-miss or an injury to a trip hazard or unexpected fire-causing spark. The system then provides real-time notification to stakeholders to proactively prevent incidents and accidents, improving workplace safety and security in a demonstrable and measurable way.
