UAE's Innovative AI Safety Tracker Launched

Workplace Safety Revolution in UAE: Smart Monitoring Boosts Inspectors

The United Arab Emirates has reached another milestone in the digitization of workplace health and safety. The Smart Safety Tracker, unveiled at the Gitex Global 2025 technology exhibition, is a system based on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) that fundamentally changes the process of safety inspections in the country. The new system aims to intelligently support field inspectors by providing real-time data processing, automatic risk detection, and specific solutions to create a safer working environment.

Digital Revolution in Inspection

The implementation of the Smart Safety Tracker system is driven by the labor market regulatory authority's endeavor to assist in compliance with safety norms using modern, data-driven, and real-time tools. Designed as a 'smart companion' for field inspectors, the system can analyze images, videos, and other field data, immediately identifying safety hazards or violations.

The artificial intelligence, built on deep learning algorithms, has learned from thousands of real workplace scenarios, enabling it to recognize dangerous situations, such as a lack of protective equipment, unsafe work practices, or accumulation of hazardous materials, with high accuracy.

Immediate Alerts and Specific Suggestions

The system not only identifies issues but also generates intelligent, natural language reports using generative artificial intelligence. These reports include the type, location, severity of the irregularity, and needed intervention suggestions, all in real-time.

This significantly reduces the administrative burden on field inspectors: they no longer need to take notes on-site or write reports afterward. Instead, on-site observations are immediately processed, facilitating data-driven decision-making.

Supporting Worker Well-being with Technology

The new system not only enhances inspection efficiency but clearly aligns with the UAE government's long-term goals: improving public services, fostering innovation, and prioritizing workers' well-being. The use of the Smart Safety Tracker promotes the establishment of a safer and more sustainable workplace environment, which positively impacts both employers and employees.

The introduction of the system demonstrates that technology doesn't replace human work but supports it. Inspectors can thus focus on decision-making, analysis, and evaluating complex situations while AI handles repetitive tasks.

Related Developments: The "Eye" System

At the GITEX event, not only was the Smart Safety Tracker debuted, but also a system called "Eye" was introduced, built on artificial intelligence for authenticating documents such as passports, facial images, and educational certificates. This development further accelerates and makes licensing processes more reliable, significantly reducing time spent on manual data checking.

The "Eye" system is also part of MoHRE's strategic digitalization efforts and aligns well with the objectives of the Smart Safety Tracker: facilitating rapid, accurate, and intelligent decision-making in the world of work.

The Role of AI in the New Work Culture

The UAE has consistently proven to be a leader in the application of innovative technologies in public services and labor market regulation. Artificial intelligence, especially generative solutions, plays an increasingly significant role in carrying out state tasks. Systems like the Smart Safety Tracker or "Eye" not only represent technological achievements but also provide real answers to the challenges of the modern labor market.

Through smart monitoring, automated document authentication, and predictive analysis, preventing violations becomes more effective, and workplace culture evolves towards a more conscious, safer, and transparent direction.

Summary

The introduction of the Smart Safety Tracker opens a new era in workplace safety and inspection in the UAE. The collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence makes regulatory work more efficient while creating a safer environment for workers. The project fits well with digital transformation goals, clearly showing the direction in which the country's labor market and public services are evolving. The future is not just around the corner - it has already begun in the UAE.
