At VelocityEHS, we’re proud to have leaders who don’t just follow the conversation around AI and safety — they redefine it.

Our Senior Vice President & Chief AI Officer Julia Penfield, Ph.D., recently shared an important video on her LinkedIn page — one that anyone responsible for worker safety should watch.

During a recent presentation to EHS professionals, she asked a simple but powerful question: Is it moral to use AI to improve worker safety?

Drawing from more than two decades of data, she highlights a sobering truth: while overall workplace injuries continue to decline, Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) have remained virtually unchanged. The plateau is real; and it’s not acceptable.

She outlines a few reasons SIFs aren't dropping: administrative overload, expert shortages, hidden risks buried in near-misses, and inconsistent root-cause data. She shows how human-led, ethical AI can finally help safety professionals break through these barriers. Not by replacing them, but by amplifying their judgment, bandwidth, and impact.

She ends her talk with a powerful answer to her original question: Is it moral not to use AI? Because accepting the status quo means accepting preventable harm.

Her message challenges all of us to think differently about safety, ethics, and technology.

Think JSAs are just for experts? Think again.

Whether you’re a seasoned safety veteran or just getting started, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) can help you see risk before it becomes a problem — if you know how to use them effectively.

The good news? You don’t have to be an expert to get expert-level results.

Learn how to make JSAs work harder for your teams — without adding more to your plate.

Sometimes, it feels like you need to be a safety expert with decades of operational risk experience to get high quality JSAs. Thanks to AI, that’s not how it has to be.
