Using AI to check whether shop-floor work procedures, SDS, and risk assessment sheets meet safety law requirements

A safety and health officer at a manufacturer reviews each line twice a year for scheduled inspections and labor standards visits, checkingwork procedures, SDS, and risk assessment sheets. The legal standards include Industrial Safety and Health Act Article 28-2, notices, and internal safety standards, and the documents for one line alone can reach dozens of pages.

The difficult part is that easy-to-miss points are scattered throughout: hazards may be listed while risk levels are blank, or protective gloves may be mentioned without material or standard.missing fields and insufficient specificityare hard to catch by skimming documents, so the process depended heavily on reviewer experience and concentration.

First, there is no complex setup."Check whether the press line work procedure, SDS, and RA sheet satisfy Industrial Safety and Health Act risk assessment obligations."We entered that in the same language a safety officer would use with a manager. AI automatically built the inspection workflow.

No programming knowledge or complex rule configuration is required. The generated workflow can be reviewed and edited, then reused for later inspections. When the line changes, replace the documents and run it again.

After saving and running the workflow, AI checks whether each statement in the work procedure, SDS, and risk assessment sheet satisfies the Industrial Safety and Health Act, risk assessment procedure, and internal safety standards. The key point isEvery decision includes the article number used as evidence, such as Industrial Safety and Health Act Article 28-2 or Internal Safety Standard Article 12, so reviewers can verify the source instead of trusting the AI conclusion blindly.

The 4 checks AI marked compliant have article-number evidence attached and can be checked quickly. Human judgment is reserved forthe 2 needs-review checks and 2 non-compliant checks, 4 checks in total. The safety officer issued correction instructions to the line owner, reran the workflow after additions and fixes, and finally approved and locked all checks.

Every action and decision is recorded in a tamper-proof audit log. Teams can later trace who corrected what, when, and based on which article, and reuse that record for regulator inspections or internal audits. Past and current inspections can also show the improvement history.

The scheduled inspection that used to take a full day per line was completed from document upload to correction confirmation inabout two hours. Most importantly, missing RA sheet entries that previously passed as probably fine were identified with evidence before enforcement.

This example focused on a press line, but INDX Compliance works the same way across use cases.Provide the standard documents, such as the Industrial Safety and Health Act, risk assessment procedure, and internal safety standards, along with the documents to check, such as work procedures, SDSs, and RA sheets, and compare them with article-number evidence attached. The same workflow applies to periodic self-inspections of chemical equipment, crane work safety checks, new-equipment risk assessments, and any manufacturing task that requires checking against safety standards.
