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 […]

By Phil Molé, MPH For decades, environmental, health, and safety (EHS) programs have been built around a single goal: compliance. Pass the audit. Submit the report. Avoid the citation. Compliance still matters. But in today’s volatile, interconnected operating environment, it’s no longer enough. Incidents escalate faster. Supply chains are fragile. Regulations evolve quickly. Emerging risks […]

EHS compliance in 2026 demands more than policy updates and periodic audits. Regulators worldwide are increasing enforcement, expanding reporting requirements, and raising expectations for documentation. For EHS and Sustainability leaders, the question is no longer whether regulations will change. It’s how prepared your organization is to adapt when they do. That’s why we created the […]

By Phil Molé, MPH   In a previous post, The Importance of Training to Your EHS Management System, you learned why training is foundational to regulatory compliance, injury reduction, and building a strong safety culture. But here’s the next critical question: Is having access to a large library of safety courses enough? The short answer: […]

The High Cost of Hand and Wrist MSDs Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of the hands and wrists remain one the most persistent and costly injury types in industrial work settings. One example is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS is one of the most common MSDs, affecting 7.8% of industrial workers, noted in a large research study. […]
