🌟 Celebrating Safety Innovation at National Safety Council Congress and Expo! We’re proud that Blake McGowan, CPE, VelocityEHS Head of Product for Ergonomics, served on this year's Closing Keynote Panel for the Safety Innovation Challenge Showcase. This year, the #MSDSolutionsLab spotlighted 10 semi-finalist companies pushing the boundaries of workplace safety technology. After live pitches and audience voting, MākuSafe was named the 2025 Safety Innovation Challenge winner. Blake joined industry leaders in evaluating these groundbreaking solutions aimed at reducing musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks — one of the leading causes of workplace injury worldwide. At VelocityEHS, we’re committed to championing innovation and expertise that drive safer, healthier workplaces everywhere, and we're excited to celebrate those that do too. #SafetyInnovation #MSDSolutions #Ergonomics #VelocityEHS

Regulations don’t stand still—and neither should your #audit program. ⚡ Our latest session recap explores how to integrate trending requirements into your #EHS audits so your teams stay proactive, not reactive. 👉 Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/gUjJah8Z #Compliance #WorkplaceSafety #RiskManagement

❗Not all incidents are equal. Some are minor. Others are near-misses that could have ended in tragedy.   These high-risk events, Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities (pSIFs), are the wake-up calls every safety professional needs to pay attention to. Unlike lagging indicators such as TRIR or DART, pSIFs shine a light on the risks that matter most, helping organizations shift from paperwork to prevention.   Join Phil Molé, MPH for a live webinar hosted by EHSLeaders on October 15 at 2 PM ET, where he’ll break down how pSIFs are reshaping workplace safety strategies.   What you’ll learn: 🔹What qualifies as a pSIF (and what doesn’t) 🔹How to identify, categorize, and document pSIFs 🔹Why traditional #safety metrics fail to prevent serious events 🔹How leading companies are using pSIFs to drive culture change 🔹The role of #AI and #software in smarter safety tracking   🔗 It’s time to rethink your safety metrics—and focus on the threats that really matter.

Designing for safety isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building better from the start. 💡 If you’re leading ergonomics, engineering, or any design process that impacts people’s well-being, this article lays out 4 essential steps to embed ergonomics into your DNA: 1️⃣ Define clear design guidelines 2️⃣ Integrate ergonomics into your design lifecycle 3️⃣ Train people so they really get it 4️⃣ Audit the health of your program to catch gaps & iterate Read the article 👇 https://lnkd.in/g8N4UFn8 #Ergonomics #WorkplaceSafety #EHS

Session Recaps from NSC Denver! VelocityEHS certified experts drew a full house at the National Safety Council Divisions Congress and Expo in Denver, where attendees packed the room for two powerful sessions filled with best-practice sharing, learning, and lively discussion. In the session, "Six Common Reasons Why Workplace Ergonomics Deployments Fail," Blake McGowan, CPE, tackled one of the most costly challenges in safety: musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Blake outlined six common pitfalls that derail #ergonomicsprograms: 1️⃣ No standardized system 2️⃣ Poor risk visibility 3️⃣ Can’t measure control effectiveness 4️⃣ Outdated assessment tools 5️⃣ Ineffective controls 6️⃣ Misalignment with business priorities The key message: ergonomics can’t be an afterthought. A structured, data-driven approach reduces #MSD risks, cuts costs by up to 17% annually, and gets employees back to safe, sustainable work faster. The next session, "Leveraging AI for Robust Incident and Near-Miss Investigations & Enhancing Job Safety Analyses" Marc Juaire, MBA, CPSA, and Rick Barker, CPE, CSP Barker, CSP, CPE demonstrated how VelocityAI is reshaping safety practices. They showed how AI can: ✅ Spot potential serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) from incident and near-miss reports. ✅ Identify hazards and root causes faster and with greater accuracy. ✅ Generate corrective actions in real time. ✅ Enhance Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) with hazard recognition and recommended controls. The takeaway: AI is not replacing safety professionals — it’s augmenting them. By handling repetitive analysis and surfacing risks early, AI empowers EHS leaders to focus on smarter, faster decisions that protect workers. Bottom line: From ergonomics to AI-powered safety, our VelocityEHS experts proved that safe can’t wait — and the packed sessions in Denver showed just how eager the safety community is to take these next steps forward.
