NextGen EHS – Technologies Impacting your Future

New technologies are emerging rapidly, and the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for applying innovative approaches to Environmental, Health, and Safety to drive safety performance, lower costs, improve oversight and increase skills. Technology, such as smart glasses, wearables, AI, drones, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and more are demanding that you rethink your EHS programs and adapt to a rapidly changing work environment. These technologies create both new opportunities and challenges for EHS professionals and understanding them is critical for success.

Learning Objectives:

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Identify technology adoption modalities and personas within any workforce
• Explain the most rapidly adopted technologies for EHS – like drones, smart wearables, LiDAR, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and fit-for purpose mobile applications.
