🛑 SafetySnap: AI-Powered OSHA Violation Detection

Spot OSHA violations before they become problems with AI-powered analysis for construction workers

🚧 The Problem

Construction sites are hazardous environments where safety violations can lead to serious injuries, fatalities, and costly penalties. Identifying OSHA violations early is crucial, but:

• Safety managers can't be everywhere at once
  
• Workers may not recognize potential hazards
  
• Documentation and reporting are often cumbersome
  
• Violations frequently go unnoticed until inspections or incidents
  

💡 Our Solution

SafetySnap empowers construction workers to be proactive safety advocates by allowing them to:

1. Snap a Photo of potential hazards at their worksite
   
2. Analyze Instantly using Gemini AI to identify OSHA violations
   
3. Get Results with clear feedback and actionable recommendations
