We have compiled a comprehensive list of the most commonly searched terms related to AI, computer vision, and workplace safety that EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) professionals are eager to explore. This glossary covers essential concepts, emerging technologies, and key industry trends, helping safety managers, compliance officers, and industrial leaders stay informed about the latest advancements in AI-driven workplace safety solutions.

Computer Vision

Computer Vision is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables machines to interpret and analyse visual data from the physical world.

Low-altitude Economy

The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) refers to the commercial and industrial use of airspace below 1000 feet or 0.62 miles for operations like drone delivery, aerial inspections, and urban planning.

REBA and RULA

REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) and RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) are ergonomic assessment tools designed to evaluate the musculoskeletal risks associated with different workplace tasks.

Heat Stress

Heat stress occurs when the body cannot cool itself effectively due to high temperatures, humidity, and physical exertion.

Hazard and Operability (HAZOP)

HAZOP, short for Hazard and Operability Study, is a risk assessment technique used to analyze industrial processes, equipment, and systems to uncover potential hazards.

Vision AI

Vision AI is an advanced artificial intelligence technology that enables machines to interpret and analyze visual data, much like human vision.

AI CCTV

AI CCTV (Artificial Intelligence-powered Closed-Circuit Television) is an advanced surveillance system that integrates machine learning, computer vision, and real-time video analytics to enhance monitoring and security.

Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection is the process of identifying unusual patterns, errors, or unexpected events in operations.


Edge AI

Edge AI refers to the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) models directly on edge devices, such as cameras, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Musculoskeletal Disorders

Musculoskeletal Disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the body's musculoskeletal system, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, and spinal structures.

Line of Fire

The term “Line of Fire” refers to situations where workers are at direct risk of injury due to hazardous equipment movement, falling objects, or unsafe actions.


Safety AI

Safety AI refers to Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems designed to improve workplace safety. It helps in detecting hazards, preventing accidents, and ensuring workers follow safety rules.
