Gut Instinct, Meet AI
for Safer Workplaces.
You know your job better than anyone—and your instincts have kept people safe. Now, AI for workplace safety offers an extra layer of support to help you spot risks sooner and act faster. AI isn’t here to do your work, but it can help make the work you do better.
Whether you’re exploring AI in EHS for the first time or ready to adopt smarter safety tools, this page helps you make sense of what’s real, what’s useful, and what moves safety forward.
AI COFFEE CHAT
Join us for our first AI Coffee Chat! Once a month, we’ll bring together a community of EHS Professionals to talk shop and learn and grow with AI.
It’s not a webinar. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a conversation between peers hosted by Velocity’s Blake McGowan, CPE. His 25 year career has focused on improving the lives of the global working population.
Bring your curiosity and your expertise.
WHY EHS NEEDS AI SAFETY SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW.
The rate of serious injuries and fatalities hasn’t changed much in decades. Not because safety leaders aren’t doing enough—but because the tools haven’t kept up. AI safety software and machine learning offer a chance to spot what humans can’t always see, and act before risk becomes reality.
As an EHS leader, you have an opportunity (some would say responsibility) to use AI to stop the harm that can be prevented. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to break the SIF rate.
