Imagine reducing workplace injuries by 35%—not over years of slow process changes, but in the first year of implementation. That’s exactly what’s happening with CompScience, a company revolutionizing workplace safety through visual AI. At Bender Insurance Solutions, we’re proud to partner with innovators like CompScience to bring the future of safety to our clients today.
Engineer Turned Safety Pioneer
The story behind CompScience isn’t just about cutting-edge technology—it’s deeply human. Founder and CEO Josh Butler was leading the product team for a self-driving car company when life took an unexpected turn. His father-in-law, a seasoned construction worker, suffered a disabling injury when a crane tipped during a lift. Witnessing the aftermath firsthand changed everything.
That experience sparked a powerful question: Could the same AI technology used to power autonomous vehicles be applied to keep workers safe?
The answer, it turns out, is yes.
From Self-Driving Cars to Safer Workplaces
Visual AI—originally developed for autonomous driving—enables machines to interpret video in real time. CompScience uses that same perception technology to analyze footage from existing security cameras in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and construction sites.
No new equipment is needed. No disruption to operations. Just insight.
Their platform processes camera footage and applies advanced AI to detect over 50 types of safety risks—everything from poor ergonomics to traffic pattern dangers, slip and fall hazards, and overhead lifting exposures.
The system provides simple, actionable insights so employers can proactively prevent injuries—not just react to them after the fact.
A Proven Impact: 200+ Companies and Counting
This isn’t theoretical. CompScience’s technology is already deployed in over 200 companies—including major names like Tesla, Honda, ConAgra, and DHL—as well as small and midsized manufacturers across California and the U.S.
The result? A verified 35% average reduction in workplace injuries within the first year.
And because CompScience integrates this technology with insurance coverage through partners like Bender Insurance Solutions and AmTrust, businesses don’t have to pay extra for the software. It’s a powerful value-add built directly into a workers’ compensation program.
Built for Privacy and Ethics from Day One
Whenever AI and cameras are involved, privacy is understandably a concern. CompScience takes that seriously.
-
No facial recognition
-
No tracking of individuals
-
No disciplinary surveillance
Instead, the AI identifies systemic safety issues—like repetitive strain risks, traffic hazards, or poor visibility—without ever identifying who is involved. The goal is simple: keep workers safer, not scrutinized.
The platform is SOC 2 certified, meaning it meets high standards for cybersecurity and data protection.
The Future of Safety is Here
At Bender Insurance Solutions, we believe technology should empower people—not replace them. That’s why we’re excited to bring CompScience’s groundbreaking solution to our clients.
If you’re a California manufacturer or business leader looking to reduce injuries, improve safety culture, and potentially lower your workers’ comp costs, now is the time to explore what’s possible.
