The safety field collects a surplus of data – from safety observations to near misses. Unfortunately, this information often isn’t used, or is misused or ignored. New technology allows for new data to be collected and to conduct complex analytics using leading indicators. This session will present a safety technology case study, provide findings from a NIOSH analytics project working across multiple industries, and discuss challenges and suggestions for using data to make a difference. You’ll learn how technology, safety analytics and leading indicators can identify precursors to serious injuries and fatalities and predict workplace incidents, as well as how a variety of industries are using data and analytics to keep people safe at work.
