AI hazard identification & risk assessment

AI hazard identificationfrom a job-site photo

Upload one job-site photo and OSHA Scan organizes visible conditions into clear findings, items needing review, and positive observations. Confirmed findings include evidence, possible OSHA references, corrective actions, and JHA-ready output. It is an independent AI-assisted first look—not an official OSHA inspection, compliance verdict, or substitute for a qualified person.

Accuracy boosters

Small habits, sharper scans

1

Set the scene

Start with context

Fill the frame

2–3 ft for close-ups; keep ladders, cords and workers fully in view.

2

Capture clearly

Make the frame usable

Light it right

Keep the sun or lights behind you — glare and shadows hide hazards.

Tap to focus

Tap the hazard on screen and hold still one second — blur can't be flagged.

3

Choose the useful view

Give the AI room to understand

Go landscape

Turn your phone sideways — a wider frame catches more of the scene.

No job-site photo handy?
or scan with video

Only upload photos you have permission to use, and avoid images showing personal, customer, or confidential information. Demo photos and results are held privately for up to 48 hours so you can save them to a free account; unclaimed photos are deleted automatically. Results are an AI-assisted preliminary review, not an official OSHA determination.

Automated hazard identification, powered by computer vision

OSHA Scan reviews a job-site photo and flags potential hazards visible in the frame for a person on site to verify. It helps teams add a consistent photo check between qualified inspections.

  • Missing or incorrect PPE (hard hats, harnesses, eye and hearing protection)
  • Fall hazards — unprotected edges, open holes, improper ladder and scaffold use
  • Electrical and arc-flash exposure
  • Struck-by and caught-in hazards from equipment and vehicles
  • Housekeeping, trip, and material-storage risks
  • Trenching, excavation, and confined-space conditions

Hazards detected

Spot it. Scan it. Solve it.

Turn hazard identification into a three-step habit every worker can follow — from the unsafe condition to a documented fix.

Step 1

Spot it

A worker, foreman, or safety lead notices a condition that looks off — an unguarded edge, a missing hard hat, a cluttered walkway — and snaps a photo. No training or certification required.

Step 2

Scan it

OSHA Scan reads the photo, flags the potential hazards it can see, cites the OSHA 1926 standard each one may relate to, and returns a 0-100 risk score in about 15 seconds.

Step 3

Solve it

You get a prioritized corrective-action checklist. Assign it, fix the hazard, and re-scan to check your fix — before it becomes a near miss.

How AI supports a clipboard walkthrough

AI hazard identification adds a consistent, referenced, and scored first pass. A qualified person still checks the site context and anything outside the photo.

The manual walkthrough

  • Depends on who happens to walk the site that day
  • Hazards get missed when crews are busy or rushed
  • Rarely points to a specific OSHA standard
  • No consistent score to prioritize what to fix first
  • Findings live on paper or in someone's memory

With OSHA Scan

  • The same structured analysis on every photo
  • Flags visible conditions for a person to verify
  • References the OSHA 1926 standard that may relate
  • Consistent 0-100 prioritization score on each scan
  • Findings, checklist, and history saved in one place

Instant risk assessment, not just a list

Identification is only half the job. OSHA Scan quantifies the risk so you know how serious a site is and what to fix first.

0-100 risk score

Every scan returns a consistent prioritization score derived from the number and severity of visible hazards flagged. It is not an OSHA compliance verdict.

Severity-ranked findings

Hazards are ranked by severity so your team tackles the highest-risk items first, not whatever is easiest.

OSHA-referenced

Each finding maps to the OSHA standard it may relate to, giving your risk assessment a clear starting point from day one.

Catch the near miss before it becomes an injury

Unsafe conditions can go unreported when documenting them takes too long. Making hazard identification as easy as taking a photo helps workers raise visible concerns for review — so potential near misses can be addressed instead of forgotten.

Your safety data stays yours

Job-site photos are sensitive. OSHA Scan is built to keep your hazard data private and under your control.

Encrypted connections

Photos and reports travel over encrypted connections between your device and OSHA Scan.

Private photo storage

Job-site images are kept in private, access-controlled storage — never on a public bucket.

Role-based access

Admins, managers, and supervisors each see only what their role allows across your organization.

Your data is never sold

We never sell your data. Export your reports or delete them from your account at any time.

AI hazard identification FAQs

What is AI hazard identification?

AI hazard identification uses computer vision to automatically spot workplace hazards in a job-site photo. OSHA Scan analyzes the image, flags each hazard, references the OSHA standard it may relate to, and scores the overall risk in seconds — no safety background required.

How does the AI risk assessment work?

Every scan produces a 0-100 risk and compliance score derived from the number and severity of hazards detected. You get a prioritized, OSHA-referenced risk assessment plus a corrective-action checklist so you know exactly what to fix first.

Do I need safety training to identify hazards with it?

No. If your crew can take a photo, they can identify hazards. OSHA Scan's AI vision runs the preliminary visual analysis and a person confirms the findings, so every worker on site becomes a first line of defense — no certifications or training needed.

Can AI hazard identification help prevent near misses?

Yes. Catching an unsafe condition in a photo before work continues is how near misses and injuries are prevented. Each identified hazard comes with a fix-it checklist so the risk is resolved before it becomes an incident.

Is my job-site photo and risk data secure?

Yes. Photos are sent over encrypted connections and stored in private, access-controlled storage. Access is role-based, your data is never sold, and you can export or delete your reports at any time.
