Business owners want to keep their employees safe while on the job. Despite their best efforts, they may not be able to see a workplace hazard even if its right in front of them.

Nationwide, Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions and CompScience understand the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in helping business owners find those safety blind spots. Theyre teaming up to make CompSciences Intelligent Safety Platform available to more business owners and prevent workplace injuries.

CompSciences technology detects previously unreported workplace risks by analyzing existing workplace videos to identify and stop an accident before it happens. CompSciences computer vision models can detect more than 50 behavioral and environmental hazards. The technology has reduced their customers workers compensation claims by as much as 23%.

Nationwide looked at two years of actuarial data and saw that the technology shows promise. We found that the CompScience computer vision models, data science, and reporting tools could help potentially save lives and reduce costs, said John Lopes, SVP of Nationwide Product Expansion.This platform provides truly actionable insights into workplace risks.

We are pleased to be partnering with Nationwide and Swiss Re so that we can bring the disruptive power of computer vision and data science to help reduce losses on Workers Comp policies," explained Josh Butler, Founder and CEO, CompScience.

In this new partnership, CompScience will act as a managing general agent (MGA). Nationwide will underwrite, bind and service the workers compensation policies and Swiss Re will provide data analytics and reinsurance capacity.

We work tirelessly to eliminate workplace hazards and accidents so that everyone can go home safely each day, said Jacob Geyer, Chief Insurance Officer, CompScience.
