Kayvon Deldar, Vice President of Partnerships at Voxel, joined our January Risk Control Webinar to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies are transforming workplace safety protocols through advanced risk detection and real-time monitoring capabilities. Voxel is an early-stage computer vision startup focused on improving workplace safety and operations.
In today's workplace environments, many injuries are preventable, yet traditional safety measures continue to rely on reactive approaches due to limited visibility into risk indicators. Modern computer vision technology is emerging as a proactive solution to this longstanding challenge, offering real-time monitoring and comprehensive analysis of workplace safety conditions.
In his presentation, Deldar demonstrated how organizations can leverage AI-powered solutions to fundamentally transform their safety protocols. By implementing these innovative solutions, companies can transition from reactive incident response to proactive risk management, creating more secure work environments through data-driven insights and real-time hazard detection.

Within the last ten years, traditional safety technology has been the go-to option for a lot of companies; this includes tech options like:
According to Deldar, hardware-focused devices frequently lack contextual understanding, leaving companies in a reactive rather than a proactive safety stance. AI offers a more nuanced approach, capable of being trained to extract specific, meaningful data points.
Computer vision systems can monitor multiple aspects of workplace safety simultaneously, such as:
The implementation of computer vision systems has demonstrated significant positive outcomes in workplace environments.
Organizations have reported substantial reductions in Workers' Compensation claims and lost-time incidents. Beyond direct safety improvements, these systems have contributed to increased employee retention rates, suggesting a positive impact on workplace culture and employee satisfaction, said Deldar.
This evolving technology represents a shift from reactive to proactive safety management, enabling organizations to identify and address potential hazards before incidents occur. Through continuous learning and adaptation capabilities, these systems can quickly adjust to new environments and evolving safety requirements, typically within days rather than months.
AI is just a tool — how you use it will determine how effective it will be, said Deldar.
