Joe Locandro explains how FletcherTech and Fletcher EHS are revolutionizing workplace safety with Preventia, an AI-powered tool designed to anticipate and prevent injuries. By analyzing real-time data, Preventia identifies patterns that signal potential risks, allowing teams to act before incidents occur. Between October and December 2023, Preventia successfully predicted several critical incidents, such as 45 falls, 10 fractures, and 94% of face-related injuries.
Preventia’s ability to integrate with tools like Workday and incorporate future data, such as weather and traffic, highlights how AI is transforming proactive safety management in the workplace.
Transitioning a custom AI project from proof of concept to full-scale production is no small feat, but when done right, the impact is great. One of our recent custom AI projects is Preventia, an AI-powered tool designed to predict potential hazards, near misses, and injuries.
At Fletcher Building we believe all injuries are preventable and the ability to identify potential accidents before they occur is directing aligned to our core value, ‘Protect’. Preventia processes multiple datasets, including weather information from MetService and workforce data from Workday – while leveraging statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify the likelihood of future outcomes based on data.
A custom AI project done right has people at its heart, and it is people who develop these awesome projects. To everyone who helped Preventia move from a concept to an everyday working reality, congratulations on a job well done!
