Using AI to reduce Accidents and Incidents

AI has the potential to revolutionise workplace safety, by identifying potential risks and hazards in real-time and helping you to take the necessary measures to prevent accidents before they occur. By using machine learning algorithms, AI can analyse large amounts of data to identify areas where employees are at the highest risk of injury, such as poorly lit work areas or cluttered walkways. The technology can also monitor employee activities in real-time, providing real-time feedback to help reduce the risk of injury. This whitepaper will cover: • The Role of AI in Safety Management • AI Technologies in Safety Management • Ethical Considerations and Challenges • User cases: Example scenarios
