For us at Connected Safety Net (CSN) machine learning technology has been a transformative element in the way we look at health and safety. When we think of machine learning we think of highly complicated code used in sophisticated software that may not relate to us in our daily lives. If you read ahead, you’ll find that, that’s not the case at all and just how much ML can make our lives easier.  

Machine learning can completely alter the way companies approach safety processes in their day-to-day operations. Here’s a few ways CSN uses machine learning to do just that: 

1. Powerful data analysis capability: With its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and make predictions based on that analysis, it is helping organizations to better identify and manage risks, improve worker safety, and increase overall efficiency.  
2. Seamless pattern detection: Its ability to detect patterns in data that humans may not be able to identify. Using this, CSN helps organizations to identify trends and patterns in workplace accidents, allowing them to take proactive measures to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. 
3. Automate everything: Machine learning algorithms can be used to automate the process of conducting safety inspections. This can save organizations time and resources, as well as ensuring that inspections are conducted consistently and accurately. CSN has implemented this in every facet of its operations to increase accountability, transparency and efficiency.  
4. Faster response times: By analyzing data on workplace accidents and incidents, machine learning algorithms can help organizations to identify patterns and predict when accidents are likely to occur. CSN uses this information to improve response times and increase the overall effectiveness of safety protocols. 
5. Optimize training processes: CSN uses ML to analyze data on workers’ performance and the types of incidents they are involved in, which can help organizations to identify areas where workers may need additional training. This can help to reduce the risk of accidents and incidents and improve overall worker safety. 
6. Streamline health and safety procedures: Machine learning can help organizations to allocate resources more effectively and reduce the overall cost of maintaining a safe workplace. 

CSN recommends implementing machine learning across all industries in their health and safety protocols because it directly impacts the well-being of employees, customers, and the wider community. Ensuring a safe working environment minimizes the risk of accidents, injuries, and illnesses, and helps to create a positive and productive workplace culture.
