EHS Platform: AI Hazard Recognition

Available at no additional cost for HSI EHS software customers, AI Hazard Recognition helps you identify workplace hazards in seconds. Simply upload a photo, and AI will analyze the image, suggest potential hazards, recommend corrective actions, and provide relevant OSHA citations. Once reviewed, the hazard can be automatically added to your Hazards & Observations module, where it can be investigated, tracked, and assigned to the appropriate people. The hazard can be linked to Toolbox Talks to help communicate lessons learned and prevent similar incidents in the future. All as part of your connected safety program.

Regulation Rundown

Safe & Sound Week: August 10 - 16

Every year, OSHA hosts Safe & Sound Week to recognize successful workplace health and safety programs and provide resources and information to support organizations in development safety programs.

For many organizations, this is a time to reflect on and recognize the efforts you have made to improve workplace safety and health throughout the year. Many of these programs can serve as a blueprint for building a strong foundation of workplace health and safety culture.

However, a strong safety culture occurs when safety is integrated into organizational culture and is prioritized and practiced at all levels; from executive leadership on down to the most junior worker. When everyone speaks up about safety, makes decisions with safety at the forefront, and encourages hazard identification and remediation, the corporate culture is one of safety first.
