| Manufacturing industry transformed rapidly over past decades with automation and digitalization leading this transformation, while safety process around manufacturing is still manual and outdated. One consequence of this is that over 85% of near-misses and incidents are not even captured. These near-misses and incidents are in-fact the pre-cursorsto safety incidents, unsafe behavior, and fatal accidents.The financial impact of not working safely can be calculated by tracking both the direct and indirect costs associated with not only injuries (including first aid cases and near misses, which is close to 200 Billion USD annually), but also the ancillary costs within the infrastructure that is required to react to the problems that so often accompany an unsafe workplace. True costs of poor workplace safety go far beyond simple direct costs such as OSHA fines, medical treatments, workers’ compensation, legal or insurance fees, etc. but include also many hidden indirect costs such as public relations costs, loss of reputation, loss of efficiency and productivity, workers’ morale, or their mental health, just to name a few.This is the challenge Be Global Safety addresses. Be Global Safety (BGS) captures and reports these near-misses and incidents in real-time, using Artificial Intelligence. Using existing infrastructure like cameras and sensors, the BGS AI systems assists in immediate and real-time identification of unsafe acts. Date reporting and dashboard integrates seamlessly with other incident management systems or allows the users to use the in-build one. And finally, the data analytics platform also allows the users to take pro-active safety measures to prevent future accidents and incidents. Our mission is to create an intelligent safety solution which can be implemented anywhere human interaction is involved and make the world a safer place. | $4M / Seed / Sep 16, 2025 | ||
