Orlando, FL — Amplify workers’ voices and keep learning, experts stressed Monday at the 2024 NSC Safety Congress & Expo during a Campbell Institute Forum discussion on serious incident and fatality prevention.

“Under the right circumstances, AI can achieve an acceptable level of accuracy in classifying SIFp based on an analysis of case narratives,” says Don Groover of DEKRA.
