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. […]

For EHS and Operational Risk leaders, standardizing risk assessment processes is only half the battle. The greater challenge is ensuring those processes are applied consistently across every facility, every team, and every worker for a standardized view of risk. Without this consistency, it becomes difficult to compare risk across sites, identify trends, share best practices, […]

How QR Codes for Incident Management Expand Access, Increase Visibility, and Empower Organizations to Act Faster Across virtually every industry, frontline employees, contractors, and temporary workers are elevated risk for occupational injury and illness, yet they are often the least connected to incident reporting systems. For example, a contractor notices a hazard, but they don’t […]

A Key Source of Incident Underreporting Is Accessibility of Reporting Systems. Safety programs rely on data to inform sound decisions and make tough calls. But what happens when that data is incomplete? Or isn’t captured at all? For many organizations, one of the biggest challenges to effective incident management is getting a full and accurate […]

Instead, he highlights the opportunity to turn recordkeeping into a strategic tool—using data to uncover risks, drive proactive decisions, and strengthen overall safety performance.

As global regulations shift from voluntary AI ethics to enforceable safety laws, the risks of relying on “black box” AI in high-hazard industries are becoming unacceptable. In this piece, VelocityEHS machine learning scientist Pulkit Parikh explains that protecting workers now depends on AI systems built with transparency, auditability, and human-in-the-loop design, ensuring decisions are reliable, […]
