HGS AI Workplace Safety

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Internet of things (IoT) enablement offer significant opportunity to improve the health and safety of employees.

On-the-job tragedies have an irreparable impact on families and put employee morale and company reputation at risk. The cost of workplace injuries, in terms of wage, productivity, and administrative losses, is estimated at $161.5 billion per year (US Department of Labor).

Together with the user's own optimized processes and parameters, the HGS Digital AI Workplace Safety Solution combines IoT and AI with HGS Digital's trained Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts to detect and prevent workplace hazards and take real-time action to significantly improve safety.

Managers cannot monitor workers on proper execution of tasks or use of resources personally 24/7. But with technology and AI remote-monitoring that can be adapted for a multitude of industries and environments, using a variety of IoT-enabled devices, it becomes possible to monitor the workplace more exhaustively.

Various possible deployments & possibilities that become available with the solution:

1. The wireless cameras captures footage of the space (e.g., factory floor, hospital hallway) to detect potential hazards.
2. The image is routed to the cloud, where AI technologies look for patterns and anomalies, and SOC team members spot-check.
3. When the AI detects a possible safety issue, it is instantly verified by the SOC. If confirmed, a local safety representative receives an alert.
4. The local safety rep immediately goes to the actual site to investigate and intervene.
5. After addressing the incident, the local safety rep confirms that the system alert was correct, and the underlying cameras and AI technology now monitor specifically for those issues. The goal is to increase automation over time.
6. Images are stored for future reference. And later that day, you can review a report for decision making and auditing.
7. Later that day, the user can download a report to justify new equipment purchases; enhance training practices; and show proof of effort to auditors, insurers, potential employees, etc.
