> How IncidentKit and VelocityEHS differ on intake, corrective actions, compliance packets, pricing and fit. Sources and dates included.

Source: https://incidentkit.ai/compare/velocityehs · Updated Oct 5, 2026

**VelocityEHS**: An EHS and sustainability platform (Accelerate) with an AI assistant, Vēlo, aimed at preventing serious injuries.

VelocityEHS sells EHS products on its Accelerate platform. They cover safety, ergonomics, chemicals and operational risk. Its Incident Management product records injuries, illnesses, near misses and hazards. It tracks corrective actions. It creates OSHA Forms 300, 300A and 301 and exports to OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA). The Vēlo AI assistant detects potential serious injuries or fatalities (PSIF).

**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
- **Published:** no
- 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.

## VelocityEHS strengths

- 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 weigh

- 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.

## Choose VelocityEHS if

- You are an industrial employer with many sites and want incidents inside a full EHS suite.
- You need OSHA 300, 300A and 301 records and ITA submission today.
- You want PSIF detection and AI ideas, with onboarding led by the vendor.
- SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and SAML SSO are buying requirements.

## Choose IncidentKit if

- Your incidents involve patients or residents. You need a BAA, QAPI summaries and survey packets.
- You want one flat price per site, with no seats, modules or setup fee, and a free plan for non patient incidents.
- You want Lauren to ask the follow up questions, with a person signing every record.
- You want a focused tool for reporting, investigation and corrective actions.

## Switching

- Care setting incidents that a worker safety suite skips.
- A wish for flat per site pricing, not quotes by module.
- Incident tools without the rest of a suite.
- A preference for intake that asks follow up questions.

Export incident history and open corrective actions with VelocityEHS's advanced reports and export tools. IncidentKit imports CSV files and sets up migration for you. Keep archived OSHA 300 logs and ITA submissions for the retention period. OSHA 300, 300A and 301 exports are rolling out, so confirm timing if you file through the ITA.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does VelocityEHS publish its prices?

No. The public site shows demo requests and no price list. Pricing is by quote, by module. Ask for AI and SSO as separate lines, because launch coverage put some AI inside a separate Vēlo subscription.

### Does VelocityEHS support OSHA 300, 300A and 301 forms?

Yes. Its May 2026 capability sheet says the product creates Forms 300, 300A and 301. It also supports electronic reporting through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application.

### 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.

### Can workers report an incident without logging in?

Yes. Administrators can create QR codes that open an incident, near miss or hazard form with no login. A June 2026 press release says the form supports 30 languages.

### Is VelocityEHS suitable for a hospital or surgery center?

VelocityEHS serves healthcare employers with worker safety products, such as ergonomics and chemicals. The pages reviewed do not describe patient safety events, QAPI or a HIPAA BAA. Ask for its BAA position in writing.
