OVERVIEW

AIHA University Webinar: Demystifying AI: Practical Use Cases for IH Professionals to Enhance Safety and Efficiency is organized by American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and will be held on Feb 11, 2026.

Description:
AI can be applied across a range of safety priorities - from monitoring chemical exposures to addressing physical risks. It can surface patterns in incident reports, power wearables that provide real-time alerts, and reduce the routine safety checklists, giving professionals more time to focus on prevention and strategy. Rob and Gary will walk through these types of applications while showing how to ensure value, transparency, and trusted data are always part of the process.
Attendees will learn how AI can improve accuracy in identifying and mitigating worker safety risks of all types, from chemical exposures to physical hazards, reduce the time spent on manual reporting, and provide predictive insights to anticipate potential incidents. They will also hear about AI’s limitations, why human oversight remains critical, and how privacy and transparency considerations must guide any deployment.

Learning Objectives:
After this webinar, participants will be able to:

Identify specific AI applications that can support industrial hygienists in chemical exposure monitoring, worker risk assessment, and compliance reporting.
Analyze how AI can improve accuracy, efficiency and predictive insights in evaluating and mitigating workplace hazards and chemical risks.
Outline key principles for deploying AI effectively in industrial hygiene, including stakeholder value, transparency and data trust.
Discuss current limitations of safety practices and technologies in industrial hygiene practice, and the opportunity for AI.
