Collaborative IOSH Communities - AI in the world of work

This event will explore the fast-growing role of Artificial Intelligence in today’s workplace.

As modern technology advances, AI is rapidly reshaping how we work, how we stay safe, and how organisations operate. Its impact on Occupational Safety and Health is becoming more visible than ever, prompting an essential question: can humans, technology and AI truly work together, or are we moving towards a world where human involvement is reduced?

This event brings together speakers who will cut through the hype and provide real insight into what AI means for workers, employers and safety professionals. They will share how AI and emerging technologies can support smarter, safer and more efficient workplaces, while highlighting why human judgement, interaction and oversight remain crucial.

You will gain a clearer understanding of:

• The current and future role of AI in workplace safety and operations
• Practical benefits, risks and limitations of using AI at work
• How organisations can balance innovation with human needs
• Real examples of AI improving processes without replacing people
• Opportunities and challenges for businesses adapting to new technology

Whether you’re a safety practitioner, manager, business owner or simply curious about the future of work, this event will help you navigate AI with confidence and clarity.

This is a collaborative event hosted by the Staffordshire, Midland, Mid Shires and East Midlands IOSH Communities, bringing together shared expertise and diverse perspectives from across the region.

Refreshments, including food, will be provided, giving you the chance to network and continue the conversation with fellow attendees.
