Safety Systems Get an AI-Driven Makeover

AI is stepping up in the world of Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management. From ergonomics to chemical safety, AI tools are making processes faster and more efficient, as highlighted in three new research studies from VelocityEHS, a developer of enterprise EHS & ESG software solutions.

Digging into the findings:

- AI tools can analyze over 1,000 safety data sheets (SDS) in minutes.

- Ergonomic risk assessment time reduced by up to 70%.

- ESG data processing speed can be improved by 50% using AI.

From the report: “ESG reports often exceed 50 pages, making manual extraction for audits, benchmarking, or Scope 3 reporting time-consuming and labor-intensive. Compounding this challenge, audits require answering hundreds of questions, posing difficulties even for experts. Additionally, midsize companies managing Scope 3 reports must manage thousands of suppliers, making it difficult to process ESG data.”

“An AI-system could transform this process, enabling organizations to retrieve relevant information and drive informed decision-making effortlessly and efficiently,” said Dr. Julia Penfield.
