Advancing Safer Workplaces: Onyx Point Proud to Partner with ASSP on AI Tool

July 3, 2025 — Schaumburg, Illinois — Onyx Point Systems proudly congratulates the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) on the launch of Safety Trekr AI, an innovative AI-powered tool now revolutionizing how workplace safety professionals access vital guidance and information.

Developed in partnership with Onyx Point Systems, Safety Trekr AI is built on trusted large language model (LLM) technology and tailored to ASSP’s cornerstone resource: the Safety Professionals Handbook, Third Edition. The tool uses advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), dynamic prompt engineering, and semantic analysis to deliver fast, accurate answers—every response grounded in the original 1,330-page reference.

“This project exemplifies the best of what AI can do for mission-driven organizations,” said Kelly Lakas, CEO of Onyx Point Systems. “Safety Trekr AI puts peer-reviewed, expert knowledge directly into the hands of professionals - instantly, securely, and with direct references to the handbook source.”

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Safety Trekr AI operates within a closed environment, drawing only from ASSP’s vetted content. This approach ensures accuracy, clarity, and trust, especially as it expands support across multiple languages and mobile access points—bringing critical safety knowledge to worksites around the globe.

Safety Trekr AI will be showcased in the ASSP Marketplace at the Safety 2025 Professional Development Conference and Expo, July 22–24 in Orlando, FL. As a platform that supports faster decision-making, risk reduction, and multilingual access, it represents a major step forward in AI-powered safety innovation.

Onyx Point Systems is honored to support ASSP in its commitment to creating safer workplaces worldwide.
