On July 1, the American Society of Safety Professionals launched ASSP Safety Trekr AI, an artificial intelligence-powered search tool designed to fundamentally change how safety professionals access critical workplace safety and health guidance.
The group says the solution will accelerate and enhance the work of safety professionals, ultimately reducing the risk of on-the-job injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
Safety Trekr AI covers essential topics like regulatory guidance and risk management, summarizing information into checklists while dissolving language barriers by translating content.
Safety Trekr AI leverages AI capabilities to navigate the vast knowledge contained within the Society’s “Safety Professionals Handbook, Third Edition.” The comprehensive reference guide is a go-to resource for environmental health and safety professionals and students. Several universities use it as a classroom text, showcasing safety research, case studies and practical applications from more than 90 industry experts.
Safety Trekr AI instantly scans and synthesizes the 1,330-page handbook to answer questions and provide precise safety guidance that is based on trusted data and real-world experiences. The advanced tool is easily accessible from mobile devices, supporting safety professionals wherever their work takes them.
“In today’s dynamic work environments, Safety Trekr AI empowers safety professionals to perform their jobs with unprecedented speed and effectiveness,” said ASSP President Linda Tapp, in a statement.
The group notes that unlike open AI platforms, Safety Trekr AI is a closed model, ensuring complete accuracy, credibility and transparency by only accessing trusted sources within the handbook and referencing them.
