Aviva introduces AI technology to target workplace injury risks

Aviva Global Risk Management Solutions has introduced artificial intelligence (AI) motion analysis to help businesses identify musculoskeletal issues before they lead to injury. 

The technology, developed with Cardinus Risk Management, gives Aviva clients access to 3MotionAi, which analyses workplace movements to spot risks. 

The system uses video footage to assess how tasks are performed and where staff may face strain or injury. 

It looks at posture, movement, repetition, force and duration, providing evidence-based insights that may not be picked up in standard assessments.

Gill Milner, head of risk management solutions, casualty classes at Aviva, said: “Many musculoskeletal risks aren’t immediately obvious. 

“In our pilots we’ve already seen 3Motion identify higher-risk activities that had previously been considered low risk, helping clients take targeted action before injuries occur.

“By delivering real-time, evidence-based insights into workplace activities, the technology helps organisations focus their efforts where they’ll have the greatest impact, supporting safer workplaces, healthier employees and stronger business performance.”

Jon Abbott, director at Cardinus Risk Management, said: “We’ve been delighted to build on our long-standing relationship with Aviva to harness the power of AI in helping organisations keep their people healthy, safe and in work.
