CHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VelocityEHS® has been named a Leader in Verdantix, Green Quadrant: EHS Software (2026), placing the company among the top vendors identified as Leaders in an assessment of 23 prominent EHS software providers. The recognition highlights the comprehensive capabilities of VelocityEHS and its differentiated ergonomics technology.
The assessment evaluated vendors across market momentum, technical and functional capabilities. VelocityEHS demonstrated depth across multiple EHS disciplines and received a perfect 3.0 score for its best-in-class ergonomics technology, highlighting the company’s investment in both proprietary and acquired ergonomics technologies, and advanced AI-enabled capabilities developed by a dedicated team of data scientists and ergonomists.
“Being named a Leader in the Verdantix Green Quadrant reflects our commitment to advancing EHS technology and helping organizations create safer and more sustainable workplaces,” said Matt Airhart, CEO, VelocityEHS. “AI-powered software is an essential part of modern EHS programs, helping teams identify and address risks before injuries occur. Our continued investment in innovation and AI-enabled capabilities is focused on making that work easier, with solutions that help organizations turn insight into action and better protect their people.”
That investment is reflected in the VelocityEHS Ergonomics AI Hands & Wrists Assessment, part of the company’s Industrial Ergonomics solution, which provides a simple, accurate way to perform in-depth risk assessments, identify grip types, and exposure patterns associated with repetitive hand- and wrist-intensive work, delivering assessment results in minutes. Watch the Ergonomics AI Hands & Wrists Assessment video overview to see how it works.
The capability builds on broader VelocityEHS ergonomics technology, including AI-powered 3D motion capture designed to identify high-risk body movements and postures from video. Together, these capabilities reduce manual efforts associated with ergonomics assessments, while giving EHS professionals consistent information to guide workplace improvements.
“AI delivers meaningful value in ergonomics, and across the full portfolio of safety and risk management solutions, by helping professionals identify and assess risk proactively, consistently and at scale,” said Dr. Julia Penfield, Chief AI Officer, VelocityEHS. “The goal isn’t to replace the expertise and judgment of the people responsible for protecting workers. It’s to give them better information sooner, reduce time spent on manual analysis and help them concentrate their expertise on impactful risk reductions.”
As core EHS functionality becomes increasingly standardized, Verdantix finds that software providers are seeking differentiation through AI-enabled capabilities, connected data architectures and deeper specialist functionality. For VelocityEHS, that means continuing to advance differentiated areas, such as industrial ergonomics and chemical management, while investing in a more connected experience across the broader EHS platform.
“The value of a connected EHS platform is combining that specialist depth with a unified view across the risks and programs our customers manage every day,” said Scott Epstein, Chief Product Officer, VelocityEHS. “As we advance areas like ergonomics and chemical management, we are also continuing to invest in building a shared experience across our solutions and making the platform easier to configure, so customers can spend less time managing systems and more time acting on what their data is telling them.”
VelocityEHS continues to invest in technology designed to support these needs, with ergonomics expertise and AI development central to that work. Its recognition as a Leader reinforces the company’s focus on practical innovation that helps organizations make informed decisions and improve workplace safety.
This Leader distinction comes at an exciting time as VelocityEHS was recently named in Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators 2026 and ranked first place in the G2 Fall 2026 Grid® Report for Environmental Health & Safety (EHS).
