By Phil Molé, MPH Welcome to Part 2, highlighting EHS in an era of transition and featuring findings from the 2026 EHS 360 Benchmark Report. In Part 1 of this series, you learned that EHS professionals are increasingly optimistic about the future of EHS within their organizations. At the same time, they’re facing rising stress […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) has entered a period of transition. For years, EHS was often viewed primarily as a compliance-driven function focused on inspections, audits, and keeping organizations aligned with regulatory requirements. Today, that role is evolving rapidly, and expectations are changing along with them. Organizations increasingly expect EHS teams […]

In Part 2 of the AI Hands & Wrists Assessment blog series, we addressed a difficult truth: hand and wrist musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) place a debilitating burden on businesses and workers alike. Yet, they are predictable, measurable, and preventable. Variability, subjectivity, and the lack of standardization and scalability in hand and wrist MSD risk assessment […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Safety teams are being asked to do something very difficult: Move faster, but don’t make mistakes. In many ways, as EHS professionals know all too well, this is nothing new. EHS professionals have long reported they need to do a lot with a little and to work efficiently while delivering results, […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Welcome to the second and final installment on EHS reporting and dashboards. In Part 1 of our series, we talked about the historical challenge of reducing rates of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs), why potential SIFs (PSIFs) make great leading indicators, and how purpose-built AI for EHS software enables EHS professionals […]

Introduction Virtually every workplace runs on hand and wrist-intensive work. From manufacturing and maintenance to pharmaceuticals and material handling, millions of workers perform repetitive, forceful, and highly coordinated movements every day. Yet these same motions drive one of the most persistent categories of workplace injury: hand and wrist musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These injuries affect the […]

By Phil Molé, MPH For decades, safety performance has been measured by one simple idea: fewer incidents mean a safer workplace. Lagging metrics measuring numbers and rates of actual injuries and illnesses have become the standard, shaping how organizations evaluate risk, benchmark performance, and make decisions. Even so, serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) continue to […]

By Phil Molé, MPH In Part One of this series, we addressed six of the most common myths shaping the AI conversation in EHS—from the idea that AI replaces human expertise to the belief that it’s only useful for large enterprises. The common thread? Most concerns stem from misunderstanding what AI is designed to do […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Over the past few months, VelocityEHS has hosted a wide range of webinars designed to empower EHS professionals to stay ahead of regulatory changes, explore emerging technologies, and strengthen their safety programs. From OSHA recordkeeping and HazCom updates to AI, ergonomics, and operational risk, these webinars delivered practical insights and real-world […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere right now. You’re reading about it in headlines, hearing about it in conference rooms, and maybe even seeing it in product roadmaps. As an EHS professional, you’re probably also hearing a lot about “AI and EHS” or “AI for EHS.” The buzz has come so quickly […]
