Machinery Risk Assessments

Create structured machinery risk assessments in one connected workspace

Turn machine photos, drawings, PDFs, 3D model exports, text descriptions, and engineering knowledge into structured machinery risk assessments ready for expert review.

HazardLens helps teams identify hazards, develop accident scenarios, evaluate risks, define risk reduction measures, and maintain complete assessment traceability throughout the machinery lifecycle.

AI assists throughout the workflow while engineers remain responsible for review, validation, and approval.

Machinery Risk Assessments

From Static Assessments to Connected Risk Workflows

Many machinery risk assessments are still managed across spreadsheets, Word documents, PDFs, email threads, and disconnected reports.

Hazards, accident scenarios, risk ratings, mitigations, and documentation are often maintained separately, making assessments difficult to review, update, and govern over time.

HazardLens provides a structured assessment workflow where every part of the assessment remains connected in a single operational record.

One connected assessment workflow

Machinery risk assessments are more than hazard lists and risk matrices. HazardLens supports the complete assessment workflow from initial hazard identification through risk reduction and review.

Capture Inputs

Start with photos, drawings, PDFs, 3D model exports, text descriptions, existing documentation, or manual hazard entries.

Identify Hazards

Accelerate hazard identification using AI-assisted workflows while maintaining complete user control.

Develop Accident Scenarios

Create clear, structured accident scenarios that support consistent risk evaluation and review.

Evaluate Risk

Apply configurable risk assessment methodologies aligned with recognized machinery safety standards.

Define Risk Reduction

Document safeguards, mitigations, and residual risk measures directly within the assessment workflow.

Review & Approve

Support structured expert review and maintain traceable assessment records.

Amplify engineering expertise

HazardLens helps engineers and safety professionals complete machinery risk assessments faster without sacrificing quality.

AI assists with information structuring, hazard identification, scenario development, and assessment preparation, helping teams reduce repetitive work and focus on higher-value engineering decisions.

Create more consistent assessments, improve review quality, and scale machinery risk workflows across the organization while maintaining expert control.

Start with the information you already have

 HazardLens allows teams to work from the information already available and build structured assessments without re-entering data across multiple systems. 

Upload Machine Photos

Identify hazards directly from machine images. 

Import Drawings and PDFs

Use engineering drawings, manuals, layouts, and technical documentation as assessment inputs. 

Use 3D Model Exports

Analyze machinery hazards using exported CAD or 3D model views. 

Describe Hazards in Text

Start assessments using process descriptions, operating scenarios, or engineering notes. 

AI-assisted hazard identification

AI-assisted hazard identification

Hazard identification is often one of the most time-consuming parts of a machinery risk assessment.

HazardLens uses AI-assisted workflows to review uploaded information and suggest potential hazards based on machinery context, operating conditions, and recognized patterns.

Suggested hazards can be reviewed, modified, expanded, or rejected by the assessment team.

The result is a faster starting point without sacrificing engineering judgment.

Structured Machinery Risk Evaluation

Structured risk evaluation

Evaluate identified hazards using risk assessment methodologies aligned with recognized machinery safety standards.

HazardLens supports structured evaluation of:

  • Severity of harm
  • Frequency and duration of exposure
  • Probability of occurrence
  • Possibility of avoidance
  • Initial risk level
  • Residual risk level
Accident Scenario Assistant

Scenario Assistant

Improve accident scenario quality with AI-assisted review, expansion, and refinement.

The Scenario Assistant helps teams create clearer, more complete, and more consistent accident scenarios that support stronger risk evaluations, better documentation, and more effective reviews.

Expand brief descriptions, identify missing details, improve consistency, and support structured expert review workflows.

HazardLens Platform

Connected To The HazardLens Platform

 Assessments connect directly to: 

  • Risk Reduction
  • Documentation
  • Oversight
  • Reporting

Hazards identified during assessment can flow directly into risk reduction workflows, connected documentation, and operational oversight without re-entering information.

Machinery Risk Workflow Capabilities

AI-Assisted Machinery Risk Assessment

From image, text, or manual input — you're always in control
HazardLens helps identify potential hazards using AI structured analysis of images or text descriptions. Upload a photo, describe a scenario, or manually input hazards, our system then suggests relevant risks and mitigations based on recognized patterns and best practices. Users can easily review, edit, or expand AI suggestions to match real-world complexity and expert knowledge.

Real-Time Safety Dashboard and Risk Monitoring

Insights across all sites, machines, and operational layers
HazardLens smart dashboards give safety teams a clear, consolidated view of open hazards, assessment status, and mitigation progress across multiple levels of the organization. With a full flexible data model, it scales from a single machine to global multi-site operations — giving safety leaders full visibility and traceability across the entire asset hierarchy.

Automated Documentation and Reporting

Create risk reports and audits with expert-level clarity
Turn your assessments into professional, standards-aligned documents in minutes. Our AI-enhanced editor helps draft clear, structured Risk Assessment Reports, User Instructions, Information for Use and custom templates. You can review and customize every detail before exporting, ensuring each report meets your internal standards and regulatory expectations.

Assess Faster

Improve Consistency

Strengthen Review Quality

Maintain Traceability

Standardize Assessment Workflows

Human in the Loop

The HazardLens AI platform accurately identifying hazards on an industrial robot.

How Accurate is HazardLens?

HazardLens uses state-of-the-art multimodal AI to assist with hazard identification based on visual and textual inputs. When analyzing images of machinery, the system can identify common mechanical hazards with a high degree of reliability for well-lit, clearly visible, and conventional machine configurations.

However, the accuracy of AI-generated suggestions depends on the quality of the input and the complexity of the machine. Factors such as obstructed views, customized machinery, hidden hazards, or rare configurations may reduce detection accuracy. HazardLens is not a replacement for expert judgment and does not claim full automation of compliance with safety standards or the Machinery Directive.

To ensure precision and trustworthiness:

  • Users can manually review, adjust, or remove AI-identified hazards

  • Hazards can also be entered manually or described via text, with AI-assisted suggestions

  • All assessments are fully editable and designed to be finalized by a qualified safety professional

HazardLens is built to accelerate the risk assessment process, not replace human expertise. It offers a powerful starting point — particularly useful for identifying typical mechanical risks — while allowing full control and customization to meet regulatory and practical safety requirements.
