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  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 […]

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 […]

By Phil Molé, MPH In Part One of our blog series on agentic AI, we introduced the concept of AI agents and discussed some of the things they can do. The goal now is to discuss what they should do, and what they shouldn’t do. In what follows, you’ll learn why AI agents are not […]

By Phil Molé, MPH Are we done with another quarter of virtual events already? Time flies. 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 Welcome to the third and final part of our blog series on EHS in Transition, based on the 2026 EHS 360 Benchmark Report. In Part 1 of this series, we explored the promises (and pain points) that EHS professionals are facing during this era. You learned that EHS professionals are optimistic […]

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, […]
