Safety software provider VelocityEHS recently debuted Vēlo, its new personified AI assistant powered by VelocityAI, at the 2025 Safety Congress & Exposition.
The show was hosted by The National Safety Council (NSC) Sept. 15-17 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
VelocityEHS hosted an invite-only “First View of Vēlo” at its booth Sept. 16. Vēlo is now live within select software on the VelocityEHS Accelerate platform
The company also previewed upcoming AI-powered features for its Safety and Operational Risk software systems at the show.
Always available to safety professionals, Vēlo can help streamline documentation, provide recommendations, and deliver actionable guidance - helping teams work faster, smarter, and stay ahead of risk.
VelocityEHS said Vēlo delivers expert-backed intelligence for incident management and job safety analysis (JSA), helping safety professionals outpace risk.
“This is a flagship moment in our company’s history,” said Matt Airhart, VelocityEHS CEO. “We’re embedding Vēlo into the solutions where it can have the most immediate impact.”
For more than 20 years, the rate of serious workplace injuries and fatalities (SIFs) has remained virtually unchanged, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite advances in safety processes and reporting systems, organizations have struggled to make meaningful progress using manual methods.
With Vēlo, powered by VelocityAI, VelocityEHS said safety professionals gain an always-on assistant that enables smarter decisions, faster response times, and more consistent safety performance across teams.
“You’ll see Vēlo’s reach expand across more solutions on our platform,” Airhart said. “ It will deliver data-backed, expert-level recommendations and insights - shaped by our team’s deep subject matter expertise - that help organizations outpace risk.”
By shifting from reactive hazard response to proactive risk prevention, VelocityEHS said Vēlo can help organizations mature their operational risk programs, make smarter data-driven decisions, and ultimately keep more workers safe.


VelocityEHS provides safety software, including integrated EHS and ESG platforms, along with AI tools that can help improve safety, ergonomics, chemical management, and operational risk management.
