Oracle has introduced a new artificial intelligence-powered solution designed to help construction companies predict and prevent jobsite safety incidents before they occur.
The company announced the general availability of Advisor for Safety, part of its Oracle Construction and Engineering portfolio, which uses predictive intelligence to help firms improve safety management, reduce workplace accidents and lower operational costs.
The tool is designed to support a shift in the construction industry from reactive safety practices to proactive risk prevention by analyzing project data and identifying potential hazards earlier in the project lifecycle.
AI-Powered Safety Predictions for Construction Projects
Advisor for Safety leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to help construction organizations forecast potential safety risks across multiple projects.
Unlike traditional predictive models that require companies to supply extensive data for training, the new system is built using an industry-specific safety model trained on more than 10,000 project-years of data across various project types and geographic locations.
This allows construction firms to deploy predictive safety capabilities quickly, even if their current safety data programs are still developing.
“Advisor for Safety marks a significant step forward in safety management, giving construction companies and owners the tools to predict and prevent incidents, while improving the industry's overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” said Mark Webster, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Infrastructure Industries. “Leveraging AI and machine learning, organizations can immediately transition from reactive to predictive safety management, improving safety outcomes and reducing both human and financial costs associated with workplace injuries.”
The solution is intended to help project leaders make better safety decisions by identifying patterns that indicate elevated risk levels.
New Observation Feature Enhances Safety Data Collection
Alongside Advisor for Safety, Oracle also introduced a new Observation capability integrated with its project management platforms Oracle Aconex and Oracle Primavera Unifier.
This feature allows construction teams—including project engineers, site supervisors and executives—to capture structured safety observations using mobile devices or web browsers.
By standardizing how safety observations are recorded, companies can collect more consistent data on jobsite conditions, including:
- Severity levels of safety risks
- Frequency of potential hazards
- Site observations and reports from field teams
Improved data collection helps refine predictive models and supports better risk assessments across construction projects.
Predictive Insights Help Reduce Incidents and Costs
Advisor for Safety analyzes multiple sources of project data to generate actionable safety insights.
The platform integrates data from systems including:
- Safety observations and incident reports
- Payroll and workforce data
- Project schedules
- Enterprise resource planning systems such as Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP
The AI-driven system can then generate weekly risk forecasts that identify projects most likely to experience safety incidents.
For example, the platform can flag the top 20 percent of projects that could account for roughly 80 percent of safety incidents, helping companies focus safety resources where they are needed most.
It can also recommend corrective actions such as increased supervision or targeted safety interventions in high-risk areas.
Data-Driven Safety Strategy for Construction Leaders
The solution also offers cross-project analytics that aggregate safety data across an organization’s portfolio of projects.
These insights help executives track performance trends, evaluate safety strategies and identify best practices that can be shared across multiple job sites.
Over time, organizations can refine the system’s predictions by incorporating their own operational data, enabling the AI models to better address company-specific risks and workflows.
“By predicting safety incidents and providing actionable insights, our customers can now focus on prevention rather than reaction,” said Josh Kanner, Sr. Director, Analytics & AI, Oracle Construction and Engineering. “Advisor for Safety has demonstrated customer reductions in incident rates by up to 50% or more and workers’ compensation costs by up to 75% in the first year.”
Supporting Safer Construction Jobsites
Safety remains one of the construction industry’s most critical challenges, with jobsite accidents often leading to injuries, project delays and financial losses.
Traditional safety management methods often rely on reviewing past incidents, which means organizations react only after problems occur.
By applying predictive analytics and artificial intelligence, Oracle aims to help companies anticipate risks earlier and build a proactive safety culture across construction projects.
The company will also showcase the new technology at the upcoming Oracle Customer Edge Summit 2026 scheduled for April 12–14 in Austin, Texas.
As digital transformation continues to reshape the construction sector, AI-powered tools like Advisor for Safety are expected to play a growing role in improving safety outcomes, enhancing project performance and reducing operational risk across the industry.
