EHS Automation with AI.
Automate the busywork. Free the team for prevention.
AI handles the repetitive tasks EHS teams do by hand, so safety professionals can spend their time on prevention.
What Is EHS Automation?
EHS automation uses AI to handle the repetitive tasks EHS teams currently do by hand: incident intake, investigation, classification, CAPA generation, regulatory log generation, and report creation. Rather than replace safety professionals, it frees them from administrative work so they can focus on prevention.
Most EHS teams spend the majority of their time on paperwork, data entry, and compliance documentation. AI flips this ratio by automating the administrative burden and giving teams back their time for the high-value work that actually prevents injuries: site walkthroughs, safety culture development, hazard assessment, and proactive risk management.
Modern EHS automation goes beyond simple digitization. Instead of putting forms online, it applies conversational AI that understands safety context and domain knowledge to do the analysis work, drafting cited findings and cause-linked actions for a qualified person to review, edit, and sign.
What Can Be Automated
AI can automate the entire EHS lifecycle, from initial event capture through compliance reporting.
Incident Intake
From plain-language report to structured record with no manual data entry. Workers describe events conversationally and AI creates complete, classified incident records with all required fields populated automatically.
Investigation & Analysis
Root cause analysis, severity classification, and contributing factor identification happen automatically. AI drafts 5 Whys, Fishbone, and Bow-tie analyses the moment an incident is reported, giving investigators a comprehensive starting point.
CAPA Management
Automatic corrective action generation, assignment, tracking, and evidence-based closure verification. AI recommends CAPAs based on the investigation findings and historical effectiveness, then tracks progress through completion.
Compliance Reporting
Regulatory log generation (OSHA 300 and 300A), audit trail maintenance, and regulatory document exports, all produced automatically from your operational data. No manual compilation, no spreadsheet formulas, no last-minute scrambles before audits.
The investigation runs itself
One fixed procedure, followed end to end on every incident.
Every incident runs through the same investigation spine: intake → evidence → timeline → causal analysis → CAPA → review and sign. The AI works freely inside each phase but can't skip or reorder them, so no step is missed and every case is auditable.
This means investigations that once needed manual coordination across teams now progress on their own. An incident report starts the investigation, the causal analysis produces CAPAs, and each CAPA is assigned to an owner by role and unit and tracked to evidence-based closure, with no manual handoffs or follow-up emails. A human reviews and signs before anything is final.
A fixed spine
Intake → evidence → causal analysis → CAPA → sign, enforced so phases can’t be skipped or reordered.
Conversational intake
The AI asks the follow-up questions an investigator would, in plain typed conversation.
Automatic progression
Findings become CAPAs, assigned by role and unit and tracked to evidence-based closure.

How Intero Automates EHS
Intero is purpose-built for EHS automation. Its AI-native architecture means the whole investigation (intake, evidence, causal analysis, CAPAs, hazards, and sign-off) is driven by conversational AI, with every finding cited to evidence.
Intero's library of investigation skills handles the cognitive work of safety operations (investigation, classification, analysis, and reporting), running through a fixed investigation spine that can't be skipped or reordered. The result is an investigator that does the work, not just stores the records. A human signs before anything is final.
