Artificial intelligence (AI) is making a strong push into the mainstream of environment, health, and safety (EHS) processes. In a jointly authored report, The Safety Shift: EHS Readiness in 2026, recently published by Wolters Kluwer Enablon in partnership with the National Safety Council (NSC), our research showed AI adoption is well underway across most organizations and all industries.
Digging into the survey of 1,053 senior safety leaders and professionals in the U.S. shows operationally intensive industries like energy & chemicals, oil & gas, manufacturing, and information technology (IT) are leading the way in EHS AI adoption.
This insight brief takes a closer look at the AI-related survey question responses to reveal industry-specific results, benchmarking AI maturity and adoption of AI for EHS processes. Download the insight brief to find out more.
