Best AI tools for site health and safety
AI in site safety falls into two groups. One is computer vision: viAct, Protex AI and Intenseye watch camera feeds for unsafe acts and conditions. The other is digital paperwork: inspections, permits, RAMS and toolbox talks, which Mitti (formerly SafetyCulture), Novade and HandsHQ cover.
What to look for
For a typical UK SME contractor, digital inspections and RAMS give the quickest return. HandsHQ is UK-built with GBP pricing and a free AI toolbox talk generator. Camera-based AI suits large or long-duration sites with fixed CCTV, and needs consultation with the workforce and a clear privacy position.
AI can help check that RAMS are site-specific rather than boilerplate, but it is a checking aid only.
