Preventing Near Misses

Use Case: How AI Stopped a Near Miss from Becoming a Fatal Accident

A high-rise construction site in Houston. A contractor was working on scaffolding when a wrench slipped from a worker’s belt, plummeting toward the crew below. The incident was logged as a near miss—but traditional safety tracking only reacts after incidents happen.
