It might not be long before artificial intelligence will be able to spot safety issues and hazards in the workplace, according to OSHA.
That makes sense because if there is one thing AI can do, it is to sort out anomalies in large data sets.
Using video feeds and security cameras, AI may learn to predict a likely slip, trip or fall zone and even analyze the differences between them.
AI could alert managers to improper or insufficient personal protective equipment, improperly fitted PPE, and make recommendations. It may even save workers time with reporting and complaint requirements.
With vehicles, we might see AI plotting optimal routes, directing vehicles, and issuing alerts for potential accidents.
The data AI may provide will give employers a lot of information on unreported accidents and prevention strategies.
