"AI is no longer a “nice to have” in safety, it’s becoming essential," says our own Dr. Julia Penfield, Ph.D. In her recent piece, "The Many Ways AI is Improving Workplace Safety," published in the NAEM Green Tie Blog article, she explains how #AI is stepping in where traditional #safetyprograms sometimes fall short. From scanning #incident reports for hidden signals to strengthening root cause investigations, AI is helping EHS professionals move beyond reactive measures and toward true prevention. She highlights several promising applications already making an impact: - Automated risk identification for Potential Serious Injury and Fatality (PSIF) insights - AI-driven Job Safety Assessments (#JSAs) - Musculoskeletal disorder (#MSD) risk detection - Root cause analysis after incidents - Enterprise-wide risk insights But as Julia notes, the real opportunity lies in how teams get started.

New article by VelocityEHS Principal EHS Expert, Phil Molé, MPH! With decades of industry experience, Phil shares his insights in Health & Safety International with “The Rise of the AI-Enhanced Workplace Safety Officer." "AI Isn’t Replacing Safety Officers – It’s Empowering Them to Focus on the Human Side of Their Work,” says Molé. Ask any safety professional why they chose this career, and the answer is simple: to make sure every worker gets home safe, every day. Yet serious workplace injuries and fatalities remain stubbornly high—even as regulations, training, and initiatives have expanded. In this article, Phil explains how #AI is helping #safety leaders flip the script. Instead of being reactive administrators, AI-enhanced safety officers can now: 1. Identify hidden risks before they escalate 2. Predict and prevent severe incidents 3. Focus more time on the human side of safety—building culture, trust, and leadership Far from replacing human judgment, AI strengthens it—helping #safetyleaders stay focused on their ultimate mission: protecting lives.
