Electrical hazard photo scanner for job sites
An electrical hazard photo scanner analyzes a job-site image for visible electrical risks: damaged or daisy-chained extension cords, missing covers on panels and boxes, blocked electrical panel clearance, cords run through water or across walkways, and work close to overhead lines. Upload a photo and OSHA Scan's AI flags each visible issue, references the OSHA standard it may relate to, and suggests a fix. It reports what is visible in the frame — it cannot measure voltage, test GFCI protection, or see inside enclosures — so it is an AI-assisted preliminary review, not an electrical inspection or compliance determination.
- GFCI protection on temporary power
- Cords undamaged and rated for the use
- Panel and box covers in place
- Working clearance in front of panels
What electrical hazards can AI detect in a photo?
The visible ones: damaged or poorly routed cords, missing covers and blanks, blocked panel clearance, wiring in wet areas, and work close to overhead lines. That covers a surprising share of everyday jobsite electrical risk, because so much of it is visual — but anything requiring measurement or opening an enclosure is out of scope.
Can it tell if a circuit is energized or GFCI-protected?
No. Energization, GFCI function, grounding, and bonding require test instruments and a qualified person. The scan lists those under what to verify manually so the photo check never substitutes for electrical testing.
Is this an electrical inspection?
No — it is an AI-assisted preliminary review of visible conditions, with references to the OSHA standards each finding may relate to. Formal electrical inspections, code compliance, and energized-work decisions belong to qualified electricians and inspectors.
