SUMMARY:Ergonomics AI - The Next Generation of Workplace Health and Safety
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintGenerating quantitative data is often a struggle for EHS professionals. This webinar will bridge that gap to help make you a more effective EHS leader. Using existing facility cameras\, we’ve identified and analyzed over 40 unsafe behaviors and conditions that could be happening right now in your facility\, and this webinar will focus on tackling ergonomics. \nJoin Gabrielle Connolly and David Lemon\, EHS Professionals and Customer Success Managers at Intenseye\, to learn more specifics about adopting an ergonomics module in your workplace. Imagine being able to continuously evaluate your ergonomic performance with a solution that provides you with quantifiable data to track improvements. What’s more\, it’s possible to do this while maintaining worker privacy through data anonymization. \nIn this webinar we will explore:\n \n\nState of the art AI technology applied to EHS problems.\nQuantitative ergonomic data generation via computer vision and AI models\nBenefits of computer-generated data vs data generated by humans\nHow AI data fits into your method of operation\n\nRegister \nSpeakers \n\n \nGabrielle Connolly\, Customer Success Manager\, Intenseye\nGabrielle is a Customer Success manager at Intenseye. Prior to starting at Intenseye\, Gabrielle worked as an EH&S Professional\, starting as an Intern and becoming a Zone EH&S Manager. She has experience working in facilities\, food and beverage manufacturing\, and transportation. After seeing the technology available for transportation safety\, like telematics\, she was inspired to look for new ways to capture EH&S data. With a BS in Chemistry\, she has always been data driven and saw the opportunity for more quantitative data in the EH&S field. After finding Intenseye Gabrielle was determined to help EH&S professionals integrate this system into their method of operation. \n“I believe the data we generate will help to further our field into the next phase of injury reduction. We know that unsafe acts and conditions are the key to understanding and preventing future injuries\, but our data is limited. It is oftentimes generated via planned collection and comes with inherent bias. It takes a lot of time out of our day to analyze this qualitative data and be able to create meaningful trends and actions from it. Intenseye helps you optimize your time by continuously collecting quantitative data\, and doing the analysis for you\, making you a more effective leader or EHS Professional.” \n\n \nDavid Lemon\, Customer Success Manager\, Intenseye\nDavid Lemon is a Customer Success Manager at Intenseye. Prior to working at Intesneye\, he spent 10+ years working in EH&S. Starting his career Davis was a commercial pilot\, then pivoted to working in mines in Australia\, David sparked an early passion for EH&S after witnessing injuries take place at the mine. Progressing his career\, David has gained experience in heavy mining\, chemical manufacturing\, and corporate EH&S settings. He is an expert in EH&S Management systems and has a passion for creating and integrating sustainable systems into daily operations. After finding Intenseye\, David saw vast potential in the data\, and was excited to help others integrate it into their operations. Safety process development and excellence in SMS are at the heart of why he chose Intenseye. \n” We all like to think we are unpredictable\, but in reality\, human behavior follows patterns\, and is predictable with the right tracking tool. All injuries have leading indicators\, measurable signs that can highlight the likelihood of an injury. They are not tracked with human-based tracking tools like near miss reporting and behavioral observation programs. Intenseye’s AI model applies computer vision to see and track the indicators the human eye cannot.” \nSponsor \n \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Safety and Industrial Security: Keep your production data secure from outside and inside forces
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIn the past\, plant operators ensured people and machines were safe by following the qualifications of the appropriate Standards and Directives. Today\, plant operators also need to ensure their data is safe. Thanks to the threats from the cyber world\, security is now an essential element of safety. \nToday\, production and industrial plants are highly interconnected using information technology\, making your data vulnerable for attackers to intrude into automation and control systems\, manipulate them and even compromise safety (machinery safety). This means that staff who are not IT experts have to deal with potential hazards. Industrial security deals with the security of control networks in production and industrial plants in factory automation and process control. However\, it’s not always the “bad guys” who do the damage. While threats can stem from the cyber world\, many security violations occur unintentionally and internally—for example\, due to operating errors by colleagues and staff. \nThe objective of industrial security is to guarantee the availability of plant and machinery and the integrity and confidentiality of machine data and processes. It begins with the access control at the plant door and extends all the way to the defense against attacks by hackers. \nThis webinar will cover the following topics: \n\nSecurity and safety are interconnected\nIndustrial security is more than IT security\nCyberattacks as well as internal attacks\nMitigating threat measures\nFuture outlook\n\nRegister \nWe want to stay in touch\, but only in ways that you find helpful.
