Dive deeper into this article written by BARRY NELSON from FactorLab.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way safety professionals approach their work. In this article, Barry Nelson, president and CEO of FactorLab, discusses how AI can be used to create a future where work-related risks are minimized, productivity is maximized, and workplaces become more secure and efficient.
One of the most promising applications of AI in safety is in the area of data analytics. AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data from a variety of sources, including safety reports, incident investigations, and employee surveys. This data can then be used to identify patterns and trends that may not be visible to the human eye.
For example, AI can be used to identify specific jobs, tasks, or locations that are associated with a higher risk of accidents. This information can then be used to develop targeted interventions to reduce those risks.
AI can also be used to develop predictive maintenance programs. By analyzing data on equipment performance, AI can identify potential problems before they occur. This can help to prevent equipment failures that could lead to accidents.
In addition to data analytics, AI can also be used to develop new safety training programs. AI-powered training programs can be personalized to the individual needs of each employee. They can also be used to provide real-time feedback and support.
Nelson argues that AI is not a replacement for safety professionals. Instead, he sees AI as a tool that can help safety professionals do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. AI can help safety professionals to identify risks, develop interventions, and train employees.
In conclusion, AI has the potential to transform the way safety professionals approach their work. By harnessing the power of AI, safety professionals can create a future where work-related risks are minimized, productivity is maximized, and workplaces become more secure and efficient.

In this episode of Tailgate Topics, Rod Courtney, CUSP interviews William Martin, CUSP, RN, NRP, DIMM ON his article in Incident Prevention Magazine titled "Power Restoration Triage and Delta Systems"
Important points in the article cover -
- The importance of triage in power restoration: Triage is a way of prioritizing outages so that the most critical ones can be restored first. This is important because it helps to minimize the impact of the storm on businesses, homes, and public safety.
- The different types of triage systems: There are a number of different triage systems that can be used for power restoration. The best system for a particular situation will depend on the factors involved, such as the size and complexity of the outage, the availability of resources, and the severity of the weather conditions.
- The unique challenges of triaging delta systems: Delta systems are more common in rural areas and small communities. They pose unique challenges for triaging because they can create low-voltage conditions that can damage customer equipment.
- The insights of experts in the field: We'll hear from experts in the field of power restoration to get their insights on how to do triage effectively. This will include tips on how to prioritize outages, how to choose the right triage system, and how to deal with the unique challenges of delta systems.
About the Author: Bill Martin, CUSP, NRP, RN, DIMM, is the president and CEO of Think Tank Project LLC (www.thinkprojectllc.com). He has held previous roles as a lineman, line supervisor and safety director.

Listen to Danny Raines, CUSP discuss his newest article in iP Magazine about Lineworkers
& Rubber Sleeves.
Rubber sleeves are an important safety tool for lineworkers who work with energized electrical equipment. They provide additional insulation and protection from electrical shock, and can help to prevent serious injuries or death.
In the past, some lineworkers did not wear rubber sleeves, but this practice has become increasingly rare in recent years. The OSHA Strategic Partnership Program, which was developed in 2005-2006, encourages the use of rubber sleeves by lineworkers. The program has been successful in reducing the number of electrical incidents and fatalities, and most lineworkers now wear rubber sleeves when working with energized equipment.
OSHA regulations require that lineworkers wear rubber insulating gloves and sleeves when working with energized parts. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, an employee may not need to wear rubber sleeves if the exposed energized parts on which the employee is not working are insulated from the employee.
It is important for lineworkers to be aware of the risks associated with working with energized electrical equipment. Rubber sleeves are an important safety tool that can help to prevent serious injuries or death.
Here are some additional benefits of wearing rubber sleeves:
- They can help to protect the lineworker's arms from burns and other injuries caused by arc flash.
- They can help to prevent the lineworker from being electrocuted if they come into contact with an energized conductor.
- They can help to reduce the risk of developing electrical shock-related health problems, such as heart arrhythmias and nerve damage.
If you are a lineworker or work in a related field, it is important to wear rubber sleeves when working with energized electrical equipment. Rubber sleeves can help to protect you from serious injuries or death.

In this episode Rod covers with Jesse a host of job site issues that relate to drugs and alcohol. This is a very great subject to review with your team and pay attention to on the job site.
You see, this isn’t a “they have a problem” sort of problem – it’s a “we have a problem” sort of problem. It’s the kind of problem that we need to talk about for the sake of you and your family, your company, our industry and our nation.
