How AI Can Make Workplace Incident Management & Hazard Assessment Smarter (and Safer!)

Date: Thursday September 18, 2025 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Data from occupational health and safety research organizations like the National Safety Council (NSC) and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that employers continue to make steady progress toward reducing minor workplace injury types. Unfortunately, serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have remained essentially unchanged or have even risen in recent years.

As a result, EHS leaders are beginning to rethink how they track injury and illness metrics—moving away from a reliance on traditional lagging indicators (TRIR, DART rates, etc.) and looking to leading indicators like potential for serious injury or fatality (PSIF) to help identify risks earlier and more accurately.

Even with detailed leading indicators like PSIF in our toolkit, we still need to translate that data into actions. That’s where Job Safety Analysis (JSA) comes in. JSA provides a systematic method to assess and control hazards before work begins. By streamlining and standardizing the risk assessment and controls prescribed in our JSAs, employers take a significant step toward protecting workers.

In this session, we’ll explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can unlock your incident and near-miss data to reveal trends, root causes, and risks to help safety teams pinpoint, track, and prevent SIFs. We’ll also show you how AI tools can enhance your JSAs by uncovering hidden risks, standardizing hazard identification, and suggesting better controls—giving you a smarter, more proactive way to prevent SIFs before they happen.

Whether you're a safety leader, EHS manager, or just curious about AI, this session will give you real-world use cases for how AI is revolutionizing EHS to help build a safer workplace for all.

Topics covered include:

Serious occupational injury & fatality trends
Shifting from lagging (TRIR, DART, etc.) to leading incident metrics (PSIF)
Job safety analysis (JSA) best practices, and how leading incident metrics (i.e., PSIF) contribute to improved hazard identification and control effectiveness
How AI is being applied to enhance both PSIF and JSA for more effective hazard control
