Soter announced the launch of SoterGenius, the first AI platform dedicated to making compliance and inspections easier for industrial companies. SoterGenius uses image and video analysis, chat functionality and document analysis to automate compliance checks against OSHA guidelines, enabling managers to identify gaps in safety and take corrective measures instantly. SoterGenius is available today as a new feature on the Soter Dashboard.

This solution comes to market as EHS professionals like safety managers, compliance officers and operations managers are under more pressure than ever to ensure workplace safety and compliance. Not only are standards and regulations for safety constantly changing in real time, but one small error could result in thousands of dollars in fines, cost the company valuable time, or in the worst cases, result in the injury or death of an employee. 

“OSHA fines are incredibly frequent, in part because EHS professionals haven’t had the tools to do their jobs comprehensively and efficiently,” said Dr. Mike Goetsch, Chief Product Manager at Soter. “With SoterGenius, safety managers save money and time. For example, a ten-thousand word policy might take an hour to complete manually but with our Health and Safety Policy Audit tool, it takes a mere 30 seconds. We’re eager to bring this solution to safety managers so they can better focus on safeguarding the workplace rather than getting lost in a sea of compliance paperwork.”

SoterGenius employs advanced processes like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to execute comprehensive audits, and provide quick and accurate responses to a wide range of health and safety questions. Built on a foundation that includes 20 million data points from more than 10,000 companies across 881 unique sub-industries, SoterGenius demonstrates a high accuracy rate (99.5%) in OSHA Information Retrieval and compliance assessments. 

There are three key components within the SoterGenius solution:

• Workplace Inspection: By easily uploading a photo or video of a workstation to SoterGenius, a safety manager can instantly audit the workspace and identify areas that are non-compliant or unsafe. After identifying a potential violation, SoterGenius will provide references to the specific policy language as well as the potential cost of a penalty. It goes a step further to propose an action needed to resolve said violation, and provides details about similar violations on record to consider. This holistic approach helps to close these gaps and correct any workplace errors, proactively.
• Safety Q&A Chatbot: Combining generative AI and RAG techniques, the safety chatbot allows managers to plug a question on safety best practice or policy into the database and instantly get an accurate and specific answer, pulling from both internal company safety policy, plus external authorities like OSHA, in seconds. With each answer, SoterGenius will direct a user to the exact, authoritative source material, giving users additional peace of mind and the intelligence to drive their approach to writing and updating policies.
• Health and Safety Policy Audit: Managers upload their safety documents (from lengthy safety policies, to signage and workshop materials) to the platform and this powerful tool will analyze them against up-to-date internal and external standards such as OSHA policy, to ensure they are compliant. The audit even goes a step further to identify the cost of potential errors, giving EHS professionals an exact way to measure cost savings and prioritize safety and compliance across the board.

“We created SoterGenius to bring cutting-edge AI solutions to an industry that desperately needs it,” said Matthew Hart, Co-Founder and CEO of Soter. “From rectifying a poor ventilation system to ensuring fall protection, SoterGenius empowers EHS professionals to identify gaps in safety and compliance instantly, driving value in their organizations by implementing the right solutions effortlessly and faster than ever.” 

SoterGenius is currently priced at $299 per month per user. Soter provides enterprise plans for companies who wish to purchase more licenses for their organizations. To learn more about SoterGenius or to get started, visit: https://soteranalytics.com/solutions/sotergenius#book-trial-form
