Middle East-based HITEK AI, a part of the Farnek group of companies, has upgraded its SAFETEK digital safety management platform, enabling a more proactive approach to safety management
This now incorporates AI-enabled Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and AI-integrated smart CCTV hazard detection, offering a smarter, faster, more cost-effective solution, with improved compliance for health and safety professionals across multiple industry sectors.
The AI-Enabled Root Cause Analysis (RCA) module uses pattern recognition, historical incident data, and real-time contextual inputs to identify the underlying causes of an incident. It leverages machine learning models trained on regional and site-specific data to pinpoint recurring risks and human factor trends and can be used to generate predictive insights rather than just reactive conclusions.
“The Incident Report RCA System is more than just an analytical tool—it’s a strategic asset for workplace safety. By integrating historical learning with DeepSeek AI’s intelligent analysis, organisations can achieve greater accuracy, deeper insights, and smarter safety strategies. With this dual-mode approach, businesses can ensure fewer workplace incidents, stronger compliance, and a culture of safety that is constantly evolving and improving,” commented Javeria Aijaz, managing director of HITEK AI.
The AI-Integrated Smart CCTV Hazard Detection System can now connect with AI-enabled smart surveillance systems to analyse live camera feeds for safety-related anomalies such as unsafe or unusual behaviour, unauthorised access, PPE non-compliance and potential hazards like oil spills or improper material storage. By using deep learning-based object detection the system triggers real-time alerts to safety teams, enabling instant mitigation.
Aijaz added that the platform provides a scalable, automated layer of oversight that reduces the need for manual inspections while ensuring high standards of workplace safety.
"These new features were added in direct response to client feedback for more proactive and insightful analysis and automated risk detection," she said. "The market is becoming more technically advanced and requires more mature AI functionality. Traditional manual audits and post-incident reviews, while necessary, simply take too long and cause delays in the reporting process.
“Our goal is to ensure that safety leaders are empowered with real-time visibility, early warnings, and automated analysis to prevent incidents before they escalate, in complex environments especially where there is public interface with the operations or workforce, such as airports, shopping malls, and large commercial facilities. However, it is also particularly relevant to other sectors such as construction, manufacturing industries and plants, refineries and factories,” added Aijaz.
Predictive RCA can lead to a reduction of up to a 40% in incident recurrence, while real-time video alerting systems can provide a 30–50% faster response through real-time video alerting systems, according to experts. 25% average cost savings can be achieved on safety manpower and manual inspections due to AI automation, and facilities using AI-driven surveillance have also reported over 35% improvement in safety compliance during internal audits.
