This 60-minute webinar details the variety of technology available to EHS professionals, such as Artificial Intelligence, wearable devices, predictive analysis etc. [EHS Today]

With such vast availability of technology, this seminar aims to bring awareness to certain technologies and how they can help integrate safer working conditions for EHS professionals. The seminar focuses on how new technology can help safety professionals adhere to industry standards, improve occupational safety hazards, and improve overall safety management plans.
