This session explores the real, lived reality of AI adoption in Health & Safety today, beyond hype and future promises. Drawing on ecoPortal’s AI in Health & Safety Survey, Craig Bleakley examines where organisations are actually using AI, where caution remains strongest, and why trust, governance, and engagement are the true determinants of successful adoption. The session reframes AI not as a replacement for human judgement, but as a practical enabler that removes friction, builds confidence, and strengthens safety leadership when embedded responsibly.
