TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, November 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cority, an industry-leading provider of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) and sustainability software is continuing development into ground-breaking tech through a new partnership with Protex AI, an innovative provider of computer vision technology for workplace safety.

Over 395 million workers experience work-related injuries or illnesses annually, according to the International Labour Organization, traditional methods of hazard detection rely heavily on people-focused observation and after-the-fact reporting, making it difficult to mitigate risks proactively. Protex AI’s computer vision technology provides continuous, autonomous monitoring, expanding an organization’s ability to detect at-risk events and respond to hazards in real-time. The integration with Cority’s platform strengthens EHS teams’ ability to take proactive action, even in high-traffic and complex environments.
“By integrating Protex AI’s technology into CorityOne, we’re enhancing our clients’ capacity to proactively monitor risk in a way that wasn’t previously feasible,” said Sean Baldry, Cority’s senior director, product marketing and a Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP). “This partnership reflects Cority’s commitment to AI-enabled solutions that empower safety professionals to prioritize prevention over reaction.”
Proactive Workplace Safety Powered by AI

This data flows seamlessly into CorityOne, Cority’s integrated EHS ecosystem, supporting more effective, timely interventions and strengthening organizations’ safety cultures.
“Together with Cority, we’re delivering a cutting-edge solution that anticipates workplace hazards and prevents incidents before they happen,” said Dan Hobbs, CEO and co-founder of Protex AI. “Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation in workplace safety, enabling EHS teams to extend their reach and focus on proactive safety measures without the need for additional resources.”
