Technology’s Role in the Future of Workplace Safety, A Focus on AI

Technology is an important component of everyday life. Its role in helping to keep our workplaces safe is ever increasing. Learn about and discuss existing technologies available to safety professionals and the future of technology’s role, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), in helping to keep people safe. Learn how AI can identify high risk behaviors and near-misses and through coaching and intervention strategies this technology/human partnership can reduce injuries in the workplace.

Matt was the 18th employee hired and has been a consistent part of Voxel’s journey and growth. Matt has directly assisted Voxel customers in integrating computer vision and AI into their existing safety programs to achieve success. Previously to Voxel, Matt worked at VelocityEHS – one of the top three SAAS EHS Software companies which has allowed him to learn the challenges Safety, Operations, and Risk folks face day-to-day and provide technology solutions for those challenges.

Lunch will be provided, likely to be a box lunch or catering tray.
