System and method for the detection and reporting of occupational safety incidents

Abstract:

An system and a method for the detection and reporting of occupational safety incidents are disclosed. The system receives a set of digital records corresponding to reported occupational safety incidents. The system converts each of the digital records from the set of digital records into a common digital format. The system deconstructs the uniform text structure of each digital recorded by a natural language processing module to lemmatize words, remove punctuation, and remove stop words. The system creates a feature vector based on the received deconstructed uniform text structure. The system inputs each feature vector to an ensemble machine learning data model, returning a determination of a possible class or characteristic of occupational safety incident. The system applies a threshold based on a probability to the determination of a possible class. The system submits a subset of the reported occupational safety incidents to a third party system.
