Avetta has received a Silver Stevie Award in the New Product of the Year category at the 2024 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. The recognition highlights the company’s AI-driven tool, AskAva, which is designed to enhance workplace safety by assisting workers in identifying and mitigating risks in real-time.
AskAva, which utilizes generative AI, acts as a safety copilot for workers, providing guidance on how to avoid accidents, injuries, and fatalities, particularly in high-risk environments such as those involving hazardous materials or heavy machinery. The tool’s interactive interface allows workers to input details about their tasks, with AskAva offering tailored safety recommendations based on the specific conditions they face.
For example, the tool can alert a contractor operating an aerial lift to the potential danger of overhead power lines and suggest appropriate safety measures, such as de-energizing the lines. This proactive approach to risk management is part of Avetta’s broader strategy to enhance safety within the supply chain.
Taylor Allis, Avetta’s Chief Product Officer, commented on the award, stating, “With contractor labour on the rise, there is an increasing opportunity for technology to contribute to a safe and compliant work environment. AskAva delivers on Avetta’s commitment to doing just that, and we are honoured to be recognized by the Stevie Awards for delivering innovation that is transforming the health and safety industry.”
The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence celebrate achievements in technology across various sectors, and Avetta’s recognition underscores its efforts to innovate within the safety and compliance space.
Avetta’s platform is widely used to manage supply chain risk, offering tools that support contractor prequalification and worker competency across industries including construction, energy, and manufacturing. The addition of AskAva to its suite of products aims to further empower global enterprises to ensure compliance and safety in their operations.
