Why AI is Critical for EHS Professionals

Despite decades of safety initiatives, serious workplace injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have remained consistently high. Traditional methods, such as manually collecting and analyzing safety data, have proven insufficient in preventing these incidents. Today, EHS leaders face mounting pressure to adopt automated AI solutions they can trust to identify risks faster and more accurately.

“AI and machine learning offer a generational opportunity to change the trajectory of workplace safety,” says Dr. Julia Penfield, VP of Research & Machine Learning at VelocityEHS. “We don’t see AI as a replacement for human judgment but as a powerful ally. One that helps professionals see risk patterns sooner, act faster, and prevent the preventable.”

Airhart adds, “Trust isn’t optional it’s essential. By weaving our collective human expertise across our solutions, we ensure our customers receive tools they can rely on.”

VelocityAI in Action

Available now within the Accelerate Platform, VelocityAI offers advanced capabilities that are already transforming safety operations:

  • 3D Motion Capture for MSD Risk Detection: Captures real-time job tasks and analyzes biomechanical data using AI/ML to identify risks and recommend effective ergonomics controls.
  • Predictive Incident Analytics & PSIF Insights: Highlights hidden risks in minor incidents and near misses to prevent serious injuries before they occur.
  • AI-Powered SDS Ingredient Indexing: Automates chemical ingredient extraction for regulatory compliance while enhancing worker safety.
  • Contractor Safety Verification: Streamlines OSHA log and insurance certificate checks up to seven times faster, reducing compliance risks.

These tools allow EHS professionals to anticipate and mitigate risks efficiently, moving beyond mere automation.

Looking Ahead: Vēlo Powered by VelocityAI

VelocityEHS will debut Vēlo, a personified AI assistant powered by VelocityAI, at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo in September. Vēlo will help safety teams streamline documentation, provide actionable guidance, and optimize workflows, enabling faster, smarter, and safer decision-making.

With VelocityAI, VelocityEHS continues to empower organizations to see risks sooner, act faster, and lead confidently in workplace safety.
