Systems and Methods for Machine Learning Identification of Precursor Situations to Serious or Fatal Workplace Accidents

An industrial safety advisor system includes a preprocessing module configured to receiving a plurality of workspace safety reports and produce a processed sentence set; an embedding module configured to receive the processed sentence set and a produce a set of high-dimensional embeddings; a severity classifier module, including a first trained machine learning module, configured to filter and match the set of high-dimensional embeddings to one or more preexisting safety reports provided within a datastore to thereby produce a set of clustered sentences; a semantic similarity module, including a second trained machine learning module, configured to derive semantic similarity metrics based on the set of clustered sentences; and a summary preparation module configured to provide a safety risk assessment based on the semantic similarity metrics.
