Arianna Howard, Managing Partner and Co-founder of Syncra Group and lead of ASSP's AI in Safety Standards-Based User Group (SBUG) joins us to share how AI tools can offer solutions for addressing issues in your workplace, but first you have to know which problems you’re trying to solve.

She discusses the importance of using AI as a learning tool to better understand the conditions the workforce is facing and better address hazards. She also shares how AI can help EHS professionals save time and work more efficiently by improving processes and procedures.

 

Key Takeaways


  • Taking a "problem first, tech second" approach can help organizations improve processes and procedures and mitigate hazards. 
  • EHS professionals should familiarize themselves with how work is done in their facilities and to determine how technology can best support their team.
  • AI tools offer the capability to improve data collection and retrieval, hazard identification and risk assessment. 
  • Effective AI implementation depends on collaboration with your team to find the best solutions for safety and health challenges.
