The record can indicate a starting event for the requested service, including a start time. During a duration of time subsequent to the start time and before determining an end event for the service, the network system receives an event indication from a provider device of the service provider or a user device of the requesting user. The event indication can include audio data captured by the provider device or the user device. The network system can analyze the event indication to determine whether a safety event has occurred. In response to determining that the safety event has occurred, the network system can perform one or more safety operations. 00 The safety operations can include transmitting a notification to the provider device and/or the user device.
