SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 23, 2026 / Haven Safety AI, the leading AI-native platform for proactive workplace safety in high-risk industries, today commended the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, for its February 11, 2026 hearing titled “Building an AI-Ready America: Safer Workplaces Through Smarter Technology.” The hearing underscored the transformative potential of artificial intelligence to shift occupational safety from reactive, incident-based approaches to predictive, data-driven prevention. This vision aligns closely with the core mission of Haven’s innovative safety intelligence platform.

During the hearing, lawmakers and expert witnesses, including representatives from industry associations and technology leaders, highlighted how AI tools are already detecting hidden hazards, analyzing patterns to prevent incidents, and saving lives on an unprecedented scale. Testimony emphasized real-world applications such as in-vehicle cameras that identify unsafe behaviors like drowsy driving or tailgating, predictive analytics to forecast injury risks, and wearable technologies that alert workers to dangers like heat stress before they escalate.

There was a focus on the need for balanced policy that fosters innovation without compromising safety. Witnesses reinforced that AI augments human oversight, prolongs careers in labor-intensive fields, and reduces barriers for small businesses when regulations remain flexible rather than patchwork.

Haven Safety AI’s mission directly embodies these priorities. By synthesizing data from incidents, sensors, interviews, and operational sources, Haven uncovers systemic risks, predicts potential serious events, and delivers actionable intelligence to prevent injuries before they occur. This AI co-pilot approach moves EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) teams beyond documentation and compliance toward true prevention. It aligns closely with the hearing’s call for smarter, governed technology that prioritizes worker protection.

“Congressional recognition of AI’s life-saving role in high-hazard workplaces is a pivotal moment for the safety industry,” said a Haven Safety AI spokesperson. “At Haven, we are proud to lead this evolution by empowering organizations to predict and stop root causes of incidents, reduce serious injuries, and build stronger safety cultures. This hearing validates what we have seen in practice: when AI is applied responsibly and with human oversight, it does not replace safety professionals. It supercharges them to protect lives more effectively than ever before.”

Haven Safety AI continues to innovate at the intersection of AI and occupational safety. The company helps enterprises in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other high-risk sectors achieve measurable reductions in incident rates through predictive insights and streamlined investigations.

Haven applies artificial intelligence to modernize incident investigations, root cause analysis, and prevention across high-risk industries

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Haven Safety AI today announced its official launch. The company was co-founded in partnership with The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), a global energy company operating in 12 countries and AI Fund, the venture studio founded by Andrew Ng. Haven is an AI-native platform designed to help organizations investigate incidents faster, uncover systemic risk, and prevent serious injuries before they occur.

Workplace safety remains one of the most operationally critical yet technologically underserved functions inside large enterprises. While traditional safety metrics and compliance programs helped reduce injuries, the industry has hit a serious injury and fatality (SIF) plateau, where serious incidents and fatalities persist despite years of investment in reporting and compliance. In addition to their irreparable impact on workers and their families, workplace injuries cost the U.S. economy more than $160 billion each year.

The company’s platform acts as an AI copilot for safety teams. It guides structured witness statements, automatically gathers evidence, synthesizes timelines, identifies root causes, and recommends corrective actions grounded in both regulatory standards and an organization’s historical data. Haven delivers measurable impact from day one by driving rapid gains in investigation efficiency, quality, and consistency; reducing repeat incidents; and enabling long-term improvements in risk exposure and serious incident reduction. Over time, the system develops institutional memory, enabling predictive insights and earlier intervention.

Haven is led by Joseph Hanna, a seasoned entrepreneur and product strategist with deep experience in leveraging AI to build operating systems for complex enterprise environments.

“Every serious incident leaves behind a trail of signals, but today those signals are scattered across interviews, documents, and disconnected systems,” said Hanna, Co-Founder and CEO of Haven. “We built Haven to connect those dots automatically. Our goal is simple: help safety leaders understand risk sooner, act faster, and prevent the next incident rather than just documenting the last one.”

“Safety investigations are critical and their outcomes affect human lives, regulatory compliance, and organizational trust. Yet they generate vast amounts of complex, unstructured data that most organizations still analyze manually,” said Andrew Ng, Managing General Partner at AI Fund. “By combining modern AI with deep domain context, Joseph Hanna and the Haven team are on a trajectory to dramatically improve both the speed and quality of decision-making in high-consequence safety investigations.”

The platform is organized into integrated modules that support the full lifecycle of safety management:

• havenSIGHT automatically collects witness statements, processes images, and frontline observations

• havenEDGE analyzes incidents, surfaces causal patterns, and recommends corrective actions

• havenIMPACT tracks outcomes over time and identifies leading indicators of future risk

Together, these capabilities transform safety from reactive reporting into proactive prevention.

“We are committed to using every tool we can to see our team members home safely at the end of every workday,” said Chris Shelton, AES Chief Product Officer and President, AES Next. “We are excited to launch Haven through our partnership with AI Fund, turbocharging safety programs across electricity and other industries. Haven allows our crews and safety teams to quickly digest more insights than traditional tools on the market, going from incident, to cause, to corrective actions at unprecedented speed and scale.”

Haven is initially focused on industries with complex operations and elevated risk profiles, including energy, utilities, construction, manufacturing, and logistics. After a year and a half of building, testing, and field validation, the platform is now live.
