Serious injuries and fatalities remain stubbornly high even as traditional safety metrics show improvement. At the same time, AI tools and human-centric risk factors are reshaping how leading organizations think about prevention. This report reveals how leading organizations are shifting their strategies to close the gap.

In this session with What Works Institute partner Michelle Garner-Janna:

  • Learn why most SIF prevention efforts stall, and how leading organizations are redefining “serious injury” to make real progress.

  • Discover the critical metrics executives now use to understand serious risk.

  • See where AI is already adding value in EHS, along with the hidden barriers that keep organizations from scaling it safely and effectively.

  • Understand the cultural and organizational gaps that quietly undermine serious injury prevention, and what high-performing teams do differently.

  • Find out how human-centric risk factors are reshaping prevention strategies, and where leaders plan to focus next.

In this summary of real-world executive strategy, you'll get clear insight into why serious injuries are not improving. Take away with practical insights you can use in your own business.
