- Best for
- EHS and safety directors at mid size and large industrial employers with many sites. They want incident management as one module in an EHS suite.
- Ownership
- CVC Growth Funds (majority) and Partners Group (minority), per the company's August 2022 announcement
- Scale (company-reported)
- The company states more than 10 million users and 15,000+ EHS teams (ehs.com and a June 16, 2026 press release, checked 2026-10-05). An August 2022 release cited over 18,000 customers. The figures are not directly comparable.
- Pricing model
- Annual subscription priced by quote, sold by module through the sales team (not published). No price list is published on ehs.com. The vendor does not confirm third party estimates, so none are used. September 2025 launch coverage put the hazard, root cause and corrective action AI inside a Vēlo subscription for Safety. SSO setup and pricing go through an account manager. Ask for AI and SSO to be itemized.
What to weigh
Where VelocityEHS is strong
- Broad platform: the vendor says 24+ products share one set of users, roles and locations.
- AI at several steps: PSIF detection, description review, and root cause and hazard ideas. The vendor says PSIF detection cuts manual triage time by 30 to 50 percent (company figure, July 2025).
- Clear OSHA records: Forms 300, 300A and 301, ITA reporting, and 25+ pre built reports.
- Offline mobile, and QR codes with no login in 30 languages, plus 15+ platform languages.
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 (June 2026 release), plus SAML SSO.
Trade-offs to consider
- Pricing is by quote only, so you cannot compare budgets before a sales call.
- Some AI was described at launch as part of a separate Vēlo subscription. Confirm what is included.
- SSO setup and pricing go through an account manager.
- Healthcare content centers on worker safety, not patient safety events, QAPI or HIPAA.
- A multi product suite may be more than an incident only team needs.

What AI does VelocityEHS offer for incident reporting?
Its Vēlo assistant, powered by VelocityAI, has AI PSIF Insights, Description Analyzer, Hazard Analyzer, Root Cause Identifier and Corrective Action Advisor. A help guide covers confirming AI PSIF flags, so a person reviews flagged cases.
