We're helping make sure that people go home to their families at the end of the working day.

Using AI to anonymise health and safety data and improve workplace safety
"There are many health and safety accident reports out there which could give valuable insights into incidents and why they happen – but industry experts are unable to use them to their full potential if they compromise privacy," says Kyle. "So the data has to be anonymised with elements redacted in order to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other regulations. That’s an almost unimaginable task for somebody to undertake manually at scale."
After 10 years in finance, Kyle co-founded Ohalo in 2017. In 2019, they began to work with The Lloyd’s Register Safety Accelerator – an initiative that aims to encourage the growth of a global safety tech industry. Ohalo was chosen to deliver a three-month data X-ray pilot to automatically anonymise and desensitise data from 600,000 records gathered by the UK Government’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
"Having worked on complex data projects, I believed that artificial intelligence (AI) could cut processing time massively," adds Kyle. "In the pilot, we successfully anonymised data with 99% accuracy. Just as importantly, it took us only one machine day compared to around 12.5 years to do the same with manual processes. Our software automated the desensitisation of the data so that the data could be shared legally and safely."
This initial success led to Ohalo winning a two-year contract with the HSE. Kyle and his team are also kicking off several new projects, including with a nuclear site operator, a construction company and, possibly very soon, a major oil and gas company. "We’re helping people share data so they can reduce accidents and make sure that people go home to their families safe and sound at the end of the day – and that’s something we’re very proud of," he says.
