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. Knowing what a chemical is doesn’t automatically tell you where it is, how much of it you have, how much you’ve used, or whether quantities […]

Every mature Operational Risk Management program is rooted in a simple question: Do you truly understand the risks involved in every job your employees perform?  The answer to this question begins with Job Safety Analysis (JSA).  Many organizations focus heavily on incident management processes: reporting, investigations, and corrective action planning. While each of these activities […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Ask an employer what their chemical management system does, and there’s a good chance the first answer you’ll hear is, “It stores our Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).” That’s understandable. 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 […]

Throughout Q2, we hosted a variety of events designed to help EHS professionals stay ahead of regulatory changes, explore emerging technologies, and enhance their safety programs. Covering topics such as OSHA HazCom updates, AI, safety, incident management, ergonomics, contractor […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Most organizations don’t struggle to collect safety data. They struggle to use it to prevent incidents. Every day, safety teams capture incident reports, investigate near misses, document corrective actions, and complete risk assessments. Yet too often, these activities happen in parallel rather than together. Incident management looks at what went wrong. […]
