Speakers & Topics
FYLD – AI enhanced natural language processing and video analysis

Info: Workplace inspections and hazard assessments are essential for identifying and preventing risks
before they cause harm. Tools such as FYLD are a good example. Enhanced with AI, natural
language processing, and computer vision, FYLD-generated hazard assessments improve
accuracy, efficiency, and real-time decision-making. This advanced system creates detailed
hazard logs based on observed conditions, spoken input, and known risks—leading to smarter,
faster safety decisions that also support productivity and sustainability.


Lead with Questions: HSE Thought Leadership in the Age of AI – Part 1
Host: Marc Smith

Info: As AI continues to evolve, HSE professionals must lead with clarity, not fear. This session
explores how to stay the Thought Leader while using AI as a trusted thinking partner. You'll
learn how to shift your mindset from efficiency to intentionality, and why AI is best used to
amplify—not replace—human judgment. We’ll break down where your leadership is
irreplaceable and where AI can carry the load. Join us to explore real-world applications, ethical
framing, and the future of human-machine collaboration in HSE.


Part 2 - Prompting with Purpose: A Practical Guide to Leading with AI in HSE
Host: Marc Smith

Info: Prompting is a leadership skill — not just a tech trick. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how
to craft prompts that connect your HSE judgment with AI’s speed and structure. We’ll explore
three levels of prompting: basic, expert, and interview-style. You’ll apply them to real tasks like
policy writing, root cause analysis, and procedure simplification. More than automation, this is
about using AI to amplify your thinking. You’ll leave with prompt ideas, practical strategies, and
a clearer sense of how to lead through collaboration — not delegation. Come curious, leave
empowered.


Safety Scan – The evolution of Impairment Detection Technology (IDT) and AI
Host: Randall Roberts

Info: Industry continues to use technologies first developed in the 1970s to detect workplace danger
from alcohol and drugs.  Lots of challenges exist - cannabis is legal and privacy is top of mind for
most people.  The metabolites of cannabis stay in the body for weeks resulting in positive (non-
negative) drug tests due to past use in personal time.  A failed drug test does not mean the
subject is impaired.  New Impairment Detection Technology (IDT) determines real-time
impairment and pairing daily workforce data from these devices with AI/ML gives companies
leading indicators and actionable predictive analytics.


Advice from a CIO – Developing Effective AI Use Policies for the Workplace
Host: Marc Kulpa

Info: More than 70% of employees are already using AI tools in their daily work—often without
formal guidance. Yet, many organizations still lack a clear policy to govern how these tools
should be used. An effective AI use policy should balance the practical needs of employees with
the organization’s requirements for security, privacy, values, and culture. It should also provide
clear, actionable guidance on which tools and practices are acceptable.
In this session, you’ll learn how to create a practical and responsible AI use policy. We'll cover
key considerations, common pitfalls, and a set of “Dos and Don’ts.” You'll leave with tools and
resources to help you draft or improve your own policy right away.


Real-World AI: Field-Ready Safety Applications That Actually "Stick"
Host: Elden Stewart

Info: Discover how AI tools like ChatGPT are being applied in real-time to improve safety meeting
quality, hazard assessment efficiency, and frontline engagement. This session walks through
tangible, field-tested examples, and strategies that safety leaders can implement immediately.


From Risk to Resilience: How AI Is Transforming Fatigue Management
Host: Dr. Prentice Tom

Info: Identifying and managing fatigue in real time remains a challenge in industrial safety. Tenvos AI
offers a proactive voice-based impairment management solution for hazardous fatigue and
substance use in real time. This session presents a case study from its deployment at a
petrochemical facility.


From Reactive to Predictive: How AI is Reshaping Safety Management Systems
Host: Amir Abrari

Info: This session explores how artificial intelligence is being integrated into modern safety systems
to enhance reporting, predict incidents, and identify risk trends. Using SafeSphere’s

development journey as a case study, we’ll highlight practical AI applications in hazard
reporting, analytics, and behavior recognition.
