AutoSGSST: AI-powered automated OHS management
Not just another safety software. An Intelligent HSEQ Management System: companies don't buy forms — they buy peace of mind, legal compliance and time.
AutoSGSST is live and multi-tenant: any company can sign up and try every module free for 3 days. Eight of ten modules are in service — led by the Annual Work Plan, which the AI builds end-to-end and exports in the institutional Excel format — with reports in Excel, Word, PDF and audio. The AI is trained on Colombian legislation — Decree 1072, Resolution 0312, Law 1562 and GTC 45.
Annual Work Plan
The flagship module: the AI builds the yearly PHVA plan and exports it as institutional Excel with automatic compliance %.
AI-audited evidence
Marking an activity as executed requires the record (Excel, Word, PDF or photo) and the AI judges whether it's valid.
Inductions & training
Role-based induction syllabus with a quiz, plus the yearly training program with a 12-month schedule.
Accident investigation
Voice interview; the AI writes findings, causes and the action plan in Word, PDF and audio.
Inspections (PPE)
From one photo, AI vision builds the checklist for helmet, gloves, glasses and boots.
Job safety analysis
Hazards, controls, postural distribution and PPE for any workstation.
Internal audit & actions
Audit report against Resolution 0312 plus a corrective-action log with effectiveness checks.
Multi-company
Company sign-up with a 3-day free trial and an admin panel.
Imagine typing…
- “I need a job safety analysis for centrifugal pump maintenance.”
- “Build the risk matrix for work at heights.”
- “Audit tomorrow: which documents am I missing?”
- “What does Resolution 0312 require in this standard?”
…and getting the answer in seconds — like having a consultant available 24/7.
