AI Assistant for Machinery Risk Assessment
start with a working draft, not a blank form
Safey helps you get a machinery risk assessment moving faster. Using selected project data, it prepares a first draft of the machine’s intended use, limits, potential hazardous situations and protective measures. You check what genuinely fits the machine and choose the content you want to use.
Where Safey Can Get You Started
Start the risk assessment faster without giving up control of the result
Safey speeds up machinery risk assessment — but it does not do the engineer’s job.
With a general-purpose chatbot, you have to explain the machine and the task every time. Safey works inside Safety Software and can use selected data from the project, the assessment and the area of the application where you are working. That means its guidance can address the current form and the specific machine.
AI in machinery risk assessment is best treated as a faster route to a solid first draft. Safey cannot see the physical machine, take measurements or guarantee that every suggestion is correct. Every result must be checked against the documentation, the machine’s actual condition and the judgement of the person leading the assessment.
AI assists. The engineer decides — and remains responsible. Safey’s output is not certification, legal advice or evidence of conformity.
- Provide the Data Describe the machine and how it will be used.
- Receive a Draft Safey structures the initial description.
- Review and Save Select only the content that matches the machine.
Define what the machine is for — faster.
Enter the core project data and Safey will draft the machine’s intended use and possible forms of reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Before saving anything, compare the text with the design documentation, installation arrangement, operating conditions and user competence. Keep only the statements that genuinely apply to the machine.
- first draft of the machine’s intended use
- list of reasonably foreseeable forms of misuse
- selected content goes directly into the project form
Expose what is still missing before hazard analysis.
Safey helps you gather limits relating to operation, installation location, operating duration and conditions such as temperature, humidity or dust.
It does not invent technical parameters. Dimensions, speeds, times, temperatures and component service life must come from documentation, measurements or documented design decisions.
- limits grouped by category
- select only the entries you need
- verify every technical value against its source
- Selected Project Data Safey uses the information needed for this step.
- Structure the List It groups the key areas that need checking.
- Select the Entries Add them to the assessment after review.
- Select the Task For example, cleaning or clearing a jam.
- Safey Drafts the Scenario It connects the situation, event and potential consequence.
- Compare It with the Machine Check the zones, movements and energy sources.
Describe exactly what could go wrong during a specific task.
Select an activity performed at the machine. Safey helps describe when a person could enter a hazardous situation, what could trigger a hazardous event and what the consequence could be.
Every draft hazard scenario must be checked against the machine’s zones, moving parts, energy sources, operating modes and every phase of its life cycle.
- scenarios drafted for the selected task
- clear link between the situation, event and potential consequence
- verification against the real machine
Build a shortlist of protective measures worth checking.
For the described hazard, Safey can suggest possible protective measures aligned with the current step in the risk reduction process. You get a practical list to start the engineering analysis.
Before selecting a measure, check that it follows the applicable standard and the principles of ISO 12100, has the required parameters, can be validated and does not introduce a new hazard.
- list of possible protective measures
- separate checks for standards, parameters and defeat potential
- the team remains responsible for selecting the measure and required evidence
- Identify the Hazard Safey uses the documented hazard scenario.
- Compare the Options Receive a list of possible protective measures.
- Verify the Solution Check the standards, parameters and evidence.
Safey drafts it. You verify it against the machine.
The guidance is there to shorten the start. The final assessment must rest on documentation, physical inspection, measurements and knowledge of how the machine is actually used.
How to Use Safey, Step by Step
Select the project and task. Safey uses the data needed for that step and prepares a draft. You review it and decide which elements are suitable for use.
How Is Safey Different from a General AI Chatbot?
Safey works alongside the project you are assessing. You can review selected drafts next to the relevant form instead of copying content from a separate tool.
| General AI Chatbot | Safey in Safety Software | |
|---|---|---|
| Project Knowledge | primarily knows what you include in the prompt | can use selected data from the current project and assessment |
| Workflow Guidance | does not know the workflow inside Safety Software | explains the steps and helps you navigate to the right place |
| Initial Descriptions | the text must be transferred manually to another tool | drafts of intended use and machine limits can be reviewed alongside the relevant form |
| Hazard Scenarios | the result depends entirely on the description entered in the message | the result relates to the selected task and assessment data |
| Protective Measures | provides a general list of possible solutions | provides a list for the specific scenario and risk reduction step |
| Using the Content | requires copying responses between tools | lets you select reviewed content where the assessment is being prepared |
| Reviewing the Result | the user must establish their own review rules | the system reminds users that AI output must be checked |
| Data Sharing | depends on the terms of the tool being used | requires company consent for external processing of selected data |

Start with a Working Draft, Not a Blank Risk Assessment Form
Add a specific project and ask Safey to help with the machine’s intended use, limits, a hazard scenario or a protective measure. Then compare the result with the documentation and the real machine.
