An Australian-first, AI-powered tool which can sort through thousands of pages of legislation and regulations instantaneously, is set to save time and lives. The “Safety Professional Assistant and Resource Knowledge-Base” tool, known as SPARK, has been commissioned by the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS) to give Occupational Health and Safety practitioners immediate access to critical information and guidance. SPARK has been trained on State-based legislation and regulations, OHS Body of Knowledge content, OHS Professional Magazine content, and general organisational information stored on the AIHS website. As SPARK itself says: “I'm here to help you with a broad range of workplace health and safety information. Whether you need info on OHS regulations, best practices, or specific topics from the OHS Body of Knowledge, I've got you covered. I can also assist with career advice, professional development opportunities, and updates on AIHS events and resources. Just let me know what you need!” AIHS CEO, Julia Whitford, said SPARK will be a huge benefit to the organisation’s 4000 members who need to access information quickly from a broad range of resources. “By simply asking SPARK a question, the knowledge assistant will search through AIHS’ library of information and immediately provide the information members need,” Ms Whitford said. ---it goes on and on and on but I think you get the gist and I've run out of characters to use.
