Does this phrase sound familiar?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

“Technology will change this\nprofession and will make people focus on more valuable tasks.” Surely\nhave heard any variation of this phrase or a similar one. Replace\n“technology” for “Big Data” or “automation” or.\nany other thing; and substitute “profession” for any function and there will be\nheard this type of phrase several times.<\/p>\n\n

It would be easy to react with\nskepticism about the idea, one could even interpret the phrase\nThis is indicated as a way of saying that jobs will change or, worse yet, will be\nwill be lost with the advance of technology. In many cases the sentence is\ncorrect. <\/p>\n\n

For many jobs, technology does not\neliminate positions or lead to a negative work environment. Rather,\njob descriptions will change, and people will simply\nwill have to adapt.<\/p>\n\n

What role will EHS<\/a> managers play?<\/h3>\n\n

Let’s focus on the media issue\nenvironment, health and safety.<\/p>\n\n

The\nindustry 4.0<\/a>, also known as the fourth revolution\nindustrial, is facing a boom in the emergence of “industrial factories”.\nintelligent” in which cyber-physical systems control processes\nof factories through the Internet of Things, known by the acronym (IoT),\nby “Internet of Things”. Physical assets and systems communicate with each other.\nand with humans in real time. Other technologies that are part of\nof ‘Industry 4.0’, Big Data, information analysis, Cloud Computing,\ndrones, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, machine learning, robotic\nrobotics, etc.<\/p>\n\n

Big Data, the analysis of\ninformation and artificial intelligence will have an impact on the performance of\nEHS managers. Imagine a world in which an intelligent EHS software platform\n<\/a> could analyze an incident and\nrecommending action plans and controls based on past incidents\nsimilar. Imagine that the data are entered into the system by sensors and\ndrones, and by thousands of field workers through mobile\ndevices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

All of this is happening right now. There is no need to\nimagine it.<\/strong> Yes\nyou are an EHS manager, you may ask yourself: “What am I here for? The\nanswer is “For something much more important”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

More psychological management, less logistics<\/h3>\n\n

The answer I gave above is\nbased on something I read in Safety + Health magazine about technology,\nBig Data and worker safety<\/a>. In the\narticle, Keith Bowers, founder of Bowers Management Analytics, says:<\/p>\n\n

“Big Data won’t replace the professionals of the\nsecurity, but will free them to do what they do best…. Tailor-made\nas Big Data becomes more important, soft skills become indispensable.\nfor security professionals. Security professionals do not\nneed to become technicians. They need to be better at what they accepted\nthat work: Developing culture<\/strong>,\nkeep people safe, and to develop an appropriate environment and the type\nappropriate organization to minimize incidents”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Highlighting the most important part of the\nbold text. Big Data, analytics and artificial intelligence will not convert\nthe EHS manager’s job into obsolete, neither will they make them have to\nbecome technicians, as Bowers points out. Rather, EHS managers will focus more on safety culture and the EHS manager’s role\nwill be more psychological\nand less logistical <\/strong>. More human and agile.<\/p>\n\n

Humans are not perfect. Nor do the algorithms<\/h3>\n\n

Thanks to technology, managers\nEHS managers will spend much less time processing incident data, near misses and\naccidents and observations. Technology will do it for them. Big Data and the\nartificial intelligence (which use algorithms), can help to predict and\nprevent incidents and eliminate many administrative tasks, but they cannot\nhelp improve the safety culture themselves.<\/p>\n\n

Algorithms may be able to\nincidents and identify the recurring conditions that are\ncausing most of the risks. But\nalgorithms cannot motivate humans, modify their attitudes, and\nbehaviors, or promote values so that they are adopted in their hearts and minds.\nminds. Only EHS managers and other professionals can do this.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you’re an EHS manager, the Big\nData and technology will<\/strong> finally free you\nto spend more time on security culture<\/strong>. You will be able to\nfocus on promoting a set of beliefs, values, attitudes, and customs\nshared concerns regarding safety in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n

Technology will help the role of the\nEHS director to be more humane.<\/p>\n\n
