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.

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

The same annotated sample report shown on our sample report page: numbered pins on the photo match the numbered findings. Stock photo, not a customer scan.

1Worker without a hard hat in an active overhead-work zone
Confirmed violationHighPossibly related to head protection (29 CFR 1926.100)
Observed condition: Struck-by and falling-object injuries are among the most common serious incidents on construction sites.
Corrective action: Provide and require a hard hat before re-entering the area; confirm overhead work is controlled.
High confidence
2Unprotected leading edge with no guardrail
Needs reviewCriticalPossibly related to fall protection (29 CFR 1926.501)
Observed condition: Falls are the leading cause of construction fatalities; an open edge above six feet is a critical exposure.
Corrective action: Install a compliant guardrail or use a personal fall arrest system before work continues near the edge.
Medium confidenceNot fully clear from the photo — verify on site.
3Exposed rebar without protective caps
Confirmed violationMediumPossibly related to impalement / rebar protection (29 CFR 1926.701)
Observed condition: Uncapped rebar can cause impalement injuries during a slip, trip, or fall onto the bars.
Corrective action: Cap or bend exposed rebar ends and keep the area around it clear.
High confidence
4Proper use of high-visibility safety apparel
Positive observationPositive observation
Observed condition: High-visibility apparel significantly reduces the risk of struck-by incidents in active traffic areas.
Corrective action: Continue enforcing high-visibility vest requirements for all personnel.

AI-generated analysisThese findings are potential hazards flagged by AI from a single photo. They are a starting point for your own review — not an official OSHA determination. Verify conditions on site with a qualified person before acting.
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.
Unsafe condition on siteStep 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.
AI reviews the whole frameStep 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.
Hazard addressed and documentedStep 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.

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 — 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.
