Abstract
In businesses, preventing workplace hazards becomes crucial. In order to limit negative effects on people, society, and the economy, it is crucial for both the organization and its employees to reduce accidents and occupational illnesses. Staff training programs are essential to a company’s preventative system. In this paper, we introduce SAMANTHA, an AI chatbot that helps reduce occupational dangers in the mining industry. Using pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs), SAMANTHA assists users with training as well as daily work tasks, aiming to help employees in any circumstance to enhance well-being at work. Despite SAMANTHA’s concentration on the mining industry, its framework is sufficiently general to be readily applied to other industries. When SAMANTHA’s learning model is compared to the pre-trained ChatGPT3.5 model, it is clear that the suggested chatbot can accurately respond to users, and the evaluation conducted with real users indicates that they are satisfied with it.
