VelocityEHS

VelocityEHS builds the Accelerate platform, a cloud suite for environment, health and safety (EHS) teams. The company formed in 2015 from MSDSonline, founded in 1996, and KMI. Accelerate covers incident management with root cause analysis, corrective actions and OSHA recordkeeping. It also handles audits with customizable checklists, scheduled mobile inspections, and action management with escalating alerts. Further modules cover SDS and chemical management, ergonomics (from the Humantech acquisition), contractor safety and electronic permit to work (expanded with the 2024 Contractor Compliance acquisition), operational risk, industrial hygiene, sustainability and environmental compliance. The Velocity AI layer includes an assistant called Velo. The company says more than 15,000 EHS teams use it. It best suits manufacturers, food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical firms and other regulated mid-size and large operations that want one system for safety and chemical compliance. Pricing is not published. Buyers get a quote based on which modules they choose, though a free SDS trial is available. G2 reviewers put implementation at around two months. The platform offers an API and connections to existing business systems, and the company holds ISO 27001 certification. It is not a maintenance or asset management tool: it has no work orders, asset registry or condition monitoring. Reviewers also report that prices climb as modules are added, navigation can be awkward, and workflow and report customization is limited.
