One of the many great panel discussions at this year's NAEM OPEX/TECH26 conference. There's a lot for the EHS industry to navigate, but hearing about the innovative solutions being built — and the current capabilities and future possibilities of AI in our field — it's hard not to be excited about where our industry is headed.
Great panel this morning with Amanda Smith from Cority and Manuel Ferreira de Almeida Ph.D. from Makersite, moderated by Virginia H. at NAEM OPEX/TECH26. AI is moving quickly and the breadth of EHS&S is vast. It was exciting to get a chance to share our perspectives on how AI is currently making an impact, where it can go, and considerations to keep in mind across EHS management systems, compliance operations, and supply chain sustainability. The session was an hour but this group could talk about this all day. If you're interested in exploring how AI can deliver real impacts to your EHS&S program, we'd love to chat.

What a privilege to take the NAEM OPEX/TECH 2026 stage alongside Wade Miller and Bruce Armbruster to talk about something that sits at the heart of every strong EHS program: Improving Incident Investigations and Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA). We dug into the fundamentals that too often get skipped : → Why a good investigation begins before the incident, with trained people, clear processes, and simple tools. → Building the right cross-functional team (and who we tend to leave off of it). → Using RCA methods like the 5 Whys and Fishbone to get past symptoms and to the real control failures. → Why a corrective action plan is only as strong as the preventive action behind it, and why effectiveness checks matter long after the file is closed. The biggest takeaway from the room: failing to discover and correct all contributing factors means the changes needed to prevent recurrence are never made. Quality investigations aren’t paperwork. They are how we keep people safe. Grateful to NAEM for the platform, to Wade and Bruce for being fantastic co-presenters, and to every EHS professional in the audience who shared how they’re tackling this work in their own organizations. #OPEXTECH26 #NAEM #EHS #SafetyLeadership #IncidentInvestigation #CAPA #RootCauseAnalysis

#OPEXTECH26 takeaways from Jessica Hunt, E+E Leader Awards.
Just got back from NAEM's OPEX/TECH 2026 in St. Petersburg. A lot to process, but here's what's still sitting with me. The AI conversation has finally matured. We're past the hype. The real value of AI in EHS isn't some futuristic scenario — it's happening now, in the form of fewer hours spent on administrative work and more time spent on the things that actually require human judgment. The caution raised was equally important though: don't mistake capability for a silver bullet. TRIR is showing its age. This one sparked real debate. The core problem is that TRIR equates a sprained wrist with a fatality. Increasingly, the profession is moving toward PSIF (Potential Serious Injury and Fatality) as a more honest leading indicator. The Swiss cheese model came up more than once. Catastrophes don't happen because of one mistake. They happen when latent failures line up. Bad data is an enterprise risk. Full stop. With the level of ESG scrutiny coming from investors and regulators right now, data integrity isn't something you can clean up later. Several conversations circled back to this. The best sustainability work isn't happening at the site level anymore. It's systems-level, think microgrids, electrification infrastructure, and business models restructured around outcomes rather than equipment. That requires a fundamentally different kind of thinking than most EHS teams were trained for. And the uncomfortable truth about digital transformation? The technology is rarely the hard part. Change management, real change management and not just a training module, is what determines whether a new system actually changes behavior or just collects data nobody looks at. Grateful for the conversations. A lot to bring back to the work. Looking forward to the next event with the amazing team at NAEM. Who else was there? I would love to connect with fellow attendees! #EHS #Sustainability #NAEM #OPEXTECH26 #SafetyLeadership #DigitalTransformation #EELeader #Partner
