Turn your cameras into a safety tool
MOST WORKPLACES already have cameras, but the footage is rarely looked at until after an incident. Viso is a Physical AI company that helps organisations turn that footage into vision applications that spot risks, understand activity on site and trigger action as things happen.
Viso’s technology understands objects, actions, interactions and context within a scene, so teams are not limited to a fixed list of detections. If a camera can see it, Visocan work with it. Teams describe what they want to identify or monitor in plain language, and Viso builds a vision application that analyses the scene and delivers useful insights. You then decide what happens next, such as sending an alert, updating a dashboard or passing information into another system.
For health and safety teams, this means spotting risks early and cutting down on manual checks. Examples include:
- PPE compliance: check that hard hats, hi-vis and other required equipment are worn in designated areas on production lines and construction sites.
- Forklift and pedestrian near misses: flag close calls in warehouses and yards before they become incidents.
- Blocked walkways and fire exits: spot obstructions in aisles and emergency routes, and alert the right person to clear them.
- Exclusion zones: monitor the areas around plant, lifts and moving machinery, and know when someone steps inside.
- Early signs of fire or smoke: watch waste and recycling lines, where hazardous items and conveyor blockages raise fire risk.
Viso works across manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, construction, waste and recycling, healthcare, and facilities management. Teams can start by testing an idea on their own footage in minutes, with no data labelling or model training. When an application proves its value, it can run on live cameras across multiple sites, with edge or on-premises deployment and enterprise governance.
Viso won the IOSH AI, Technology and Engineering Award at the IOSH Awards 2026.
Security is built in. Every workspace is isolated with access controls, customers can use their own storage or Viso-managed storage, and visual data is not used to train Viso’s models. Viso is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.
