How to Leverage Safety Analytics to Drive Intelligent Workplace Safety Decisions featuring Mary Jo Press from Tesla

As workplace safety readiness and response remain top priorities for EHS leaders, analytics is emerging as a critical way for staff to gain real-time visibility and insight into safety performance.  That data is only as good as your analysis. We have to dig deeper and proactively consider intelligent decisions to improve when no one is asking or watching. Hear from Mary Jo Press how Tesla is accomplishing this:

• Use data to make facility safety decisions during the pandemic
  • Was it safer to work remotely or on-site, what cleaning practices/frequency led to lower positivity for their employees, how was the community data compared to the facilities? 
• Challenge hypotheses to ensure the data is used to make informed product decisions
• Ask what other technologies can we use to supplement and make efforts better for employees, the community, and customers.
