Webinar Details

Thursday February 19th, 2026
12:00pm-1:00pm CST

Artificial intelligence promises efficiency, but can it actually deliver return on investment for environmental, health and safety teams? During this session, we’ll move beyond theory and examine real-world applications of AI in safety, risk and compliance programs. You’ll learn how AI is being used to reduce incidents; identify hazards earlier; and improve consistency across inspections, audits and reporting workflows.

The discussion will also cover how AI can drive measurable business outcomes, including insurance and claims savings, reduced labor spent on manual safety tasks, improved compliance visibility, and lower exposure to regulatory risk. Rather than focusing on future possibilities, this webinar will center on practical deployments and lessons learned from high-stakes environments where accuracy and trust are essential.

This session is designed for EHS leaders, safety managers and risk professionals who are responsible for both safety performance and operational efficiency, and who want a clear, grounded view of when AI delivers real value and when it does not.
