A new white paper from the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) explores how environmental, health, and safety (EHS) professionals can use AI responsibly to foster workplace safety while supporting trust, transparency, privacy, and worker protection.
Key takeaways from the paper, “AI and the Evolving Role of EHS Professionals,” include:
“As part of ASSP’s AI strategy, we are laser-focused on how AI can help our members make their workplaces safer,” said Stephanie Johnson, director-at-large and chair of the AI Task Force, ASSP. “As AI becomes more integrated into safety professionals’ daily work, now is the moment for our profession to help shape its ethical, transparent and responsible use. AI adoption can begin at a small scale, and together we can use these tools to advance workplace safety for all.”
The paper lays the foundation for ASSP’s broader AI strategy, built on five pillars: strategic leadership, AI competency development, research, trusted authority, and ethical leadership.
