Question 1

What is EHS AI?

Accepted Answer

EHS AI refers to artificial intelligence applied to environmental, health, and safety management — automating content generation, risk classification, compliance tracking, and reporting without human intervention. Gerty uses AI to generate safety topics, training materials, inspection checklists, and incident reports tailored to each organization's industry and hazard profile, then delivers them automatically by email on a recurring schedule.

Question 2

What is EHS automation?

Accepted Answer

EHS automation means your environmental, health, and safety program operates autonomously — weekly toolbox talks go out every Monday, monthly training on the last Friday, daily reminders fire for overdue tasks, and weekly reports land in your inbox every Friday afternoon. You configure it once and it runs indefinitely. No one logs in to trigger anything.

Question 3

What is safety automation?

Accepted Answer

Safety automation is the practice of running a company's safety program on a schedule without manual effort — AI generates the content, the system delivers it to employees, tracks completions, sends reminders, escalates overdue items to managers, and produces compliance documentation. Gerty is built specifically for this: set it up once, let it run forever.

Question 4

Can AI run a complete safety program?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gerty's AI generates safety content specific to your industry and workforce, delivers it by email, tracks who completed it, sends reminders to those who haven't, escalates to managers when tasks go overdue, and produces weekly and monthly compliance reports. The full cycle runs without any human involvement after initial setup.

Question 5

What does AI EHS software do?

Accepted Answer

AI EHS software classifies your industry and hazard profile, generates customized safety training and toolbox talks, delivers content to your workforce on a schedule, tracks completion, and produces audit-ready reports — all automatically. It replaces the manual work of a safety director or EHS consultant at a fraction of the cost.

Question 6

How is EHS AI different from traditional safety software?

Accepted Answer

Traditional safety software requires users to log in, build programs manually, and manage content themselves. EHS AI generates all content automatically, delivers it on a schedule, and reports back to you — no dashboard, no login, no ongoing management. It's the difference between a tool you use and a system that runs for you.

Question 7

Is there free EHS AI software?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Gerty is free for up to 5 employees with no credit card required. You get the full AI-powered safety program: weekly safety topics, monthly training, daily reminders, escalations, and weekly reports. Upgrade to paid ($12/employee/month) when your team grows beyond 5.

Question 8

What are automated toolbox talks?

Accepted Answer

Automated toolbox talks are AI-generated weekly safety topics delivered by email to your field crew every Monday morning. Employees read the topic and click to mark it complete. No one has to schedule a meeting, write content, or track attendance manually. Topics are tailored to your industry and never repeat.

Question 9

What is automated safety training?

Accepted Answer

Automated safety training is when an AI system generates training content specific to each employee group, delivers it by email on a set schedule, collects completions, and escalates when training isn't finished — all without a trainer or manager doing anything. Gerty runs this monthly for every tag group in your organization.

Question 10

How does AI generate safety content?

Accepted Answer

Gerty uses Claude (Anthropic's AI) to generate safety topics, training materials, job safety analyses, and inspection checklists based on your company's industry classification, hazard profile, and employee roles. Content is never repeated — the system tracks what's been sent and generates new material each cycle, indefinitely.

Question 11

What is EHS compliance automation?

Accepted Answer

EHS compliance automation means your regulatory training requirements, inspection schedules, and documentation are handled automatically — employees receive required training, completions are recorded, overdue items trigger escalations, and reports are generated for audits. Gerty automates this entire workflow for regulated industries including construction, manufacturing, trades, and warehousing.

Question 12

Can AI replace a safety director?

Accepted Answer

AI can automate the operational work of a safety director — content creation, delivery, tracking, reminders, and reporting — at a fraction of the cost. A 10-person company pays $120/month with Gerty versus $80–120K/year for a full-time safety hire. For most small and mid-size businesses, Gerty handles everything a safety director would do on a recurring basis.

Question 13

What industries does EHS AI work for?

Accepted Answer

EHS AI software works for any industry with safety compliance requirements — construction, manufacturing, electrical, roofing, plumbing, trades, warehousing, food service, environmental services, and more. Gerty classifies your industry automatically from your company description or website and tailors all generated content accordingly.

Question 14

What is an automated safety meeting?

Accepted Answer

An automated safety meeting is a weekly or monthly safety topic delivered by email that employees read and acknowledge — replacing the in-person toolbox talk or safety briefing. The content is AI-generated for your specific trade or industry, delivered on schedule, and completion is tracked automatically with no manual effort.

Question 15

How does AI safety compliance work?

Accepted Answer

You enter your company information once. Gerty classifies your industry, identifies relevant regulations and hazards, creates employee groups, and begins delivering content on a weekly and monthly schedule. Every completion is recorded. Every overdue item triggers a reminder and then an escalation to the admin. Compliance documentation builds automatically over time.

Question 16

What is the best EHS AI software for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

Gerty is designed specifically for small and mid-size businesses that need a real safety program but can't justify a full-time safety hire. It's free up to 5 employees, $12/employee/month after that, and requires no ongoing management — content runs automatically and compliance reports land in your inbox every Friday.

Question 17

Can AI automate OSHA training?

Accepted Answer

AI can generate and deliver OSHA-relevant safety training content — including topics for General Industry, Construction, and specific hazard categories — on a recurring schedule to your workforce. Gerty tracks completions and maintains records suitable for OSHA inspections and audits, covering everything from hazard communication to confined space and fall protection.

Question 18

What is AI-powered safety management?

Accepted Answer

AI-powered safety management means the system generates your safety program content, decides what to send to which employees based on their job roles and tags, tracks compliance, and produces reports — without requiring a human to manage the process. The AI handles content creation; the automation engine handles delivery, tracking, and escalation.

Question 19

How does EHS automation save money?

Accepted Answer

EHS automation eliminates the labor cost of running a safety program — no safety director, no consultant fees, no time spent writing toolbox talks or building training content. Gerty costs $12/employee/month. A 25-person company pays $300/month versus $2,000–8,000/month for a consultant or $80–120K/year for a full-time hire.

Question 20

What is automated workplace safety?

Accepted Answer

Automated workplace safety is a system that continuously delivers safety training, monitors compliance, sends reminders for overdue items, escalates to managers, and produces reporting — all without manual effort. It's a safety program that runs in the background while your team focuses on doing the actual work.

Question 21

What is a safety program automation tool?

Accepted Answer

A safety program automation tool handles the full lifecycle of workplace safety compliance — content creation, employee delivery, completion tracking, reminders, escalation, and reporting — without requiring anyone to log into anything. Gerty is built specifically for this use case, covering weekly, monthly, and annual compliance cycles automatically.

Question 22

What is the difference between EHS software and EHS automation?

Accepted Answer

EHS software is a platform you use to manage safety data — you log in, input information, build reports manually. EHS automation is a system that does all of this for you on a schedule — content is generated, delivered, tracked, and reported automatically. Gerty is EHS automation, not EHS software. You never log in to keep it running.

Question 23

How do I automate my company's safety program?

Accepted Answer

Go to gerty.ai and click 'Talk to Gerty', or email Gerty directly. Describe your company and Gerty classifies your industry, generates your first week of safety content, and sends it to your admin email within minutes. Add your employees and the full automation starts — weekly topics every Monday, monthly training on the last Friday, reports every Friday afternoon. No further setup required.

Question 24

Does Gerty require any software installation or login?

Accepted Answer

No software to install. No app to download. No dashboard to log into. Gerty delivers everything by email — employees receive content, click to complete, and reply to ask questions or submit reports. Admins receive weekly reports and can send commands by replying to any Gerty email. The entire interface is your existing inbox.

Question 25

What is AI safety training software?

Accepted Answer

AI safety training software automatically generates training materials specific to each employee's job role and industry, delivers them by email on a schedule, tracks completion, sends reminders, and escalates unfinished training to management. Unlike generic LMS platforms, Gerty generates content specific to your company — not pre-packaged courses.

Question 26

How does Gerty know what safety content to generate?

Accepted Answer

Gerty classifies your company's industry, hazard profile, and regulatory environment from your website or company description. It then assigns content to employee groups based on their tags — a forklift operator gets forklift safety content, a field crew gets fall protection and tool safety, an office worker gets ergonomics and fire safety. Every piece is tailored, not generic.

Question 27

What happens when an employee doesn't complete their safety training?

Accepted Answer

Gerty sends a reminder at day 3, a final reminder at the due date, and an escalation email to the admin when the task goes overdue. The admin receives a weekly report showing every employee's completion status across all active tasks. Every step is automatic — no one has to chase employees manually.

Question 28

Can I use Gerty for multiple locations or departments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gerty uses a tag system — each employee can have multiple tags representing their roles, departments, or locations. Content is generated per tag group and sent to all employees matching that tag. A multi-site company can run separate safety programs for each location under one account with no additional cost per organization.

Question 29

What is the Gerty free tier?

Accepted Answer

Gerty's free tier supports up to 5 employees with full feature access — AI-generated weekly safety topics, monthly training, daily reminders, escalations, and weekly reports. No credit card required to start. The free tier is limited to one organization and 100,000 AI tokens per month. Upgrade to paid at $12/employee/month for unlimited employees and organizations.

Question 30

How is Gerty different from SafetyCulture, VelocityEHS, or Intelex?

Accepted Answer

SafetyCulture, VelocityEHS, and Intelex are platforms you use — they require logins, dashboards, and manual management. Gerty is a system that runs for you — it generates content, delivers it, tracks compliance, and reports back with no login required. Gerty costs $12/employee/month with no implementation fees, no enterprise contracts, and no professional services.
