Change is everywhere in your operation: new processes, shifting teams, evolving regulations. But every change introduces risk. Without a strong Management of Change (MOC) process, those risks remain hidden.
For EHS and operations leaders working within ISO 45001, whether you’re certified, pursuing certification, or using the framework to guide your safety management system, MOC is more than a requirement. It’s how you maintain control when everything else is moving.
ISO 45001 makes this clear: organizations must establish processes to manage both temporary and permanent changes that impact health and safety. However, change is still too often treated as routine—pushed through quickly, inconsistently reviewed, or disconnected from broader risk management efforts.
That’s where gaps form, and those gaps matter. Investigations into major incidents repeatedly point to breakdowns in MOC as a contributing factor, especially when risk assessments aren’t fully integrated into the change process. Even short-term or “temporary” changes can lead to lasting consequences if risks aren’t properly identified and controlled. This webinar explores how to close those gaps by building a more robust, connected approach to MOC that supports both compliance and performance.
You’ll learn how to:
Because the goal isn’t to slow change down; it’s to make sure every change moves you forward. Safely, confidently, and with purpose.
BONUS: This webinar is CEU-eligible. Attendees will receive a certificate of completion for attending the entire 60-minute session, which they can submit to professional associations for credit, including BCPE, BCSP, ABIH, and others.

We’ve surveyed EHS professionals like you about AI, and the results show that EHS professionals are curious about AI, but are often not using it yet, or if they are, they’re not exploring specific use cases in EHS management. If you’re one of the many EHS pros who want to better understand how AI can support your mission to keep people safe, this is the webinar for you.
There’s never been a more urgent time. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and OSHA data in the US show that rates of severe injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have stayed flat over the last 20 years, even as rates of less serious injuries have fallen. EHS professionals are doing their best, but the injuries keep happening. The good news is that AI is part of EHS today, and it’s transforming how EHS leaders protect their people and shift to preventing injuries, rather than just documenting them.
In this webinar, Phil N. Molé, MPH, Principal of Marketing Content for VelocityEHS and a veteran EHS professional, will give you the information you need to understand why you can’t afford to ignore AI.
Register for our webinar to learn about:
EHS professionals don’t get the luxury of slowing down. You’re expected to prevent incidents, stay compliant, and make the right call fast — all while the workload keeps stacking.
Is your current approach keeping up with the risks you face?
Are you getting the insights you need to make the right calls?
Do you have the tools to distill the noise, act with intent, and be successful?
This June, VelocityEHS Demo Day gives you a front-row seat to what’s new, what’s smarter, and what actually moves the needle. You’ll see how our latest AI-driven capabilities help you cut through complexity, surface real risks, and take action without the usual delays.
In this half-day virtual event, we’ll show you how our solutions are evolving to automate more, predict more, and guide you with precision. You’ll also see how Vēlo, our AI assistant, is getting even better at delivering insights and recommendations exactly when you need them.

Contractor Safety: AI-Powered Compliance That Keeps Work MovingDate and Time: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 from 12:25-12:55pm ET
Speaker: Jessica Gildersleeve, CSP, Solutions Consultant, VelocityEHS
Session Description: Contractor safety starts before work begins. But when contractor qualification relies on manual or paper-based processes, it becomes easy for delays, blind spots, inconsistent reviews, and compliance gaps to slow everything down.
In this session, you’ll see how VelocityEHS Contractor Safety helps organizations move beyond spreadsheets, emails, and paper-based systems by centralizing oversight, automating onboarding, and tracking contractor readiness in real time. You’ll also get a closer look at AI powered workflows for COI assessment and OSHA log review. These capabilities help reduce manual effort, improve consistency and accuracy, and accelerate approvals without cutting corners.
See how smarter contractor management can provide clearer visibility across sites, stronger compliance, more standardized contractor qualification processes, and greater control before contractors step on site.
The Ergo Cup® competition, created by the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers, celebrates smart, effective solutions to real ergonomics challenges. Bringing that concept in-house is a simple way to get your team involved in improving the work they do every day.
An internal “Ergo Cup”-style competition gives people a clear opportunity to share ideas, solve problems, and make meaningful changes. The result? Practical improvements that help reduce MSD risk while making work more comfortable and productive.
In this high-impact webinar, you’ll learn how leading companies are transforming ergonomics from a compliance activity into a business performance engine—driving measurable gains in productivity, quality, and engagement. Built on proven frameworks like the “Find-It / Fix-It” model, this session reveals how to activate frontline teams, surface high-value improvements, and create a repeatable pipeline of scalable wins that leadership can see, measure, and celebrate.
Attendees will learn:
From securing executive sponsorship and designing meaningful recognition, to establishing dual metrics that prove both employee impact and business value, you’ll gain a clear blueprint for building momentum and credibility across functions.
Managing contractor safety can be one of the most complex challenges for EHS professionals, especially as reliance on contractors and temporary workers continues to grow. Slow, manual administrative processes for evaluating contractor compliance and onboarding workers and uncertainty around safety training, certification, and performance contribute to significant risks for organizations.
The key to overcoming these challenges is implementing a systematic, standardized approach to contractor safety management that is supported by the right tools and technologies. In this session, we’ll walk you through a proven five-step process for contractor safety that provides a clear, actionable strategy for contractor safety management framework. You’ll also learn best practices to ensure every contractor and temporary worker on site meets your organization’s safety standards and compliance requirements, and how emerging AI capabilities are driving new levels of efficiency and control over contractor safety.
What You’ll Learn:
Join us for this in-depth webinar and strengthen your contractor safety management program with practical strategies you can start using right away.
