By Phil Molé, MPH You may know every chemical product in your inventory. But do you know every regulated or hazardous ingredient inside those products? That distinction matters. An organization can maintain an up-to-date safety data sheet (SDS) library and an accurate list of product names, manufacturers, quantities, and locations, yet still struggle to answer […]

By Phil Molé, MPH HazCom 2024 affects all users of hazardous chemicals throughout the chemical supply chain. Chemical manufacturers have work to do as the compliance clock keeps ticking. So do importers and distributors. And as updated hazard information makes its way downstream, employers who use hazardous chemicals affected by the final rule have many […]

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 […]

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 […]

Many organizations still rely on paper forms, Word documents, spreadsheets, or PDFs to manage their JSAs. While these […]

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how organizations identify risk, improve decision making, and protect their people. According to the 2026 EHS 360 Benchmark Report, 44% of EHS professionals identify AI as the biggest transformative force in EHS today and 70% trust AI-generated insights to inform EHS decisions. But meaningful innovation isn’t measured by new features and […]
