Coming Soon to the VelocityEHS Accelerate® Platform
Safety Solution—Incident Management Enhancements
AI Hazard Analyzer, AI Root Cause Identifier, & AI Corrective Action Advisor
The upcoming AI enhancements — AI Hazard Analyzer, AI Root Cause Identifier and AI Corrective Action Advisor — will be delivered within the Vēlo subscription for Safety. Together, they will suggest likely hazard types and root causes, then use that data to recommend corrective actions as users complete incident reports. The result: faster form completion, more accurate data capture and standardized classifications across locations, improving reporting quality and follow-up actions.
Trained on thousands of real incidents and validated by safety experts, this AI model will save users’ time, strengthen reporting quality, and help prevent repeat incidents through data-driven corrective action planning.
Operational Risk Solution — Job Safety Analysis Enhancements
AI Hazard Analyzer, AI Control Recommendations for Operational Risk
The AI Hazard Analyzer and AI Control Recommendations, both within the Vēlo subscription for Operational Risk automatically recommend hazards and controls based on job task descriptions in Job Safety Analysis (JSA) workflows. The capability enhances the speed, consistency, and quality of risk assessments without changes to workflows.
By shifting from reactive hazard response to proactive risk prevention, Vēlo helps organizations mature their operational risk programs, make smarter data-driven decisions, and ultimately keep more workers safe.
Why Now
For more than 20 years, the rate of serious workplace injuries and fatalities (SIFs) has remained virtually unchanged, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite advances in safety processes and reporting systems, organizations have struggled to make meaningful progress. Traditional, manual methods have reached their limits.
With Vēlo, powered by VelocityAI, EHS professionals gain an always-on assistant that enables smarter decisions, faster response times, and more consistent safety performance across teams.
