By Phil Molé, MPH For many organizations, chemical management has traditionally been viewed through the lens of compliance. Do we have an up-to-date safety data sheet (SDS) for every chemical? Are containers properly labeled? Is our chemical inventory accurate? Are we meeting applicable reporting requirements? Those are important questions. But they aren’t the only questions […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Organizations today have access to more risk data than ever before. Incidents, hazards, inspections, job safety analysis (JSAs), bowties, corrective actions, audit findings, training records, and other operational activities can all generate valuable information about where risk exists and how it is being managed. But having risk data isn’t the same […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Keeping your safety data sheets (SDSs) organized is an important part of chemical management. But as we discussed in a recent blog, it’s only one part.

Maintaining an up-to-date SDS library is one of the most visible and familiar requirements of OSHA’s Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard alongside other […]

By Phil Molé, MPH  AI is everywhere. But for EHS professionals, one question matters more than any other: Can AI help us make work safer? Generic AI tools can summarize documents or generate content. But protecting workers requires something different. It requires AI that understands how EHS teams work, the decisions they make, and the […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Job Safety Analysis (JSAs) has been a cornerstone of workplace safety for decades. JSAs help organizations identify hazards, evaluate risks, and establish controls before work begins. But not all JSAs are equally effective. Many organizations still rely on paper forms, Word documents, spreadsheets, or PDFs to manage their JSAs. While these […]

But meaningful innovation isn’t measured by new features and […]
