AI-powered Contextual Awareness for Next-Gen Safety Platforms in High-Risk Industries

Yadav, Sahil and Ganesan, Hariharan (2025) AI-powered Contextual Awareness for Next-Gen Safety Platforms in High-Risk Industries. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (3). pp. 1701-1709. ISSN 2581-9615

The article investigates how AI-powered contextual awareness platforms can transform workplace safety in dangerous industrial settings. The article investigates how advanced machine learning methods such as deep neural networks and reinforcement learning algorithms and ensemble methods and transfer learning techniques help these systems progress from basic monitoring to predictive safety frameworks. These systems use environmental sensors and wearable technologies with advanced analytics to build complete safety ecosystems that detect and forecast hazards before incidents occur. The article traces the development from traditional reactive safety methods to proactive risk management systems which artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies have made possible. The article shows how these systems have achieved major safety improvements through their reduction of recordable incidents and near-misses and their improved hazard detection abilities. The research examines system designs together with deployment obstacles and moral issues that include privacy risks and frameworks for human-AI teamwork. The article reveals upcoming technological advancements which will enhance system capabilities through autonomous operations integration and advanced predictive modeling and cross-industry applications. The research adds to industrial safety knowledge about AI applications while offering organizations practical guidance to implement these technologies for workplace safety improvement.
