Identify how AI and data analytics can be applied to predict and prevent workplace safety risks
Analyze EHS data sources (e.g., near-misses, PPE usage, operational data) to uncover safety trends
Apply practical tools such as dashboards and trend analysis to improve safety decision-makin
Many organizations collect large volumes of EHS data but struggle to translate it into actionable insights. This session explores how AI and data analytics can be used to shift from reactive safety management to predictive risk prevention. Using real-world examples from manufacturing environments, the presentation will demonstrate how analyzing trends in near-misses, PPE usage, and operational data can identify hidden risk patterns and improve decision-making. Attendees will learn practical approaches to implementing data-driven safety systems without complex tools, including dashboards, trend analysis, and early warning indicators. This session is designed for EHS professionals seeking to enhance safety performance, reduce incidents, and integrate modern data strategies into their programs.
