SoterTask risk assessment software

Soter Analytics has developed an AI-driven visual processing product that acts as an ‘impartial observer’ when performing task risk assessments. The technology, called SoterTask, provides a ‘second unbiased eye’ and labour-saving features that decrease the workload of safety professionals and increase the safety of their workers. SoterTask is designed to streamline and speed up ergonomic assessments, providing easy-to-read reports with objective data to assist observational techniques and increase the safety of workers.

Performing risk assessments on individual tasks in the workplace is part of the hazard identification process, to keep workers safe. Typically, assessments are carried out by safety professionals and can be subjective, with long ergo reporting requirements. Soter Analytics has found a solution to this; using AI vision processing software, the solution helps professionals carry out these evaluations.

SoterTask is simple to use. Needing only a smart device, the application can be applied on the go and requires no special tools or sensors. The video software provides a visual overlay highlighting high-risk angles and movements of a worker’s body including legs, arms, neck and back on a second-by-second chart. The impartial eye assists with any perceptual or inattentional blindness and confirmation bias, both of which involve factors that influence standard observational techniques.

The visually pleasing interface and accompanying dashboard provide detailed analysis of risks and integrate all industry ergo tools, displaying side-by-side risk comparisons for pre- and post-intervention implementations. The labour-saving tool also presents reports with key improvement metrics for distribution and follow-up.
