Name
Session 9 | Learning at the Speed of Change: The Promise of In-Time Safety Management
Date & Time
Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Description

Traditional safety processes can struggle when operating conditions and technologies evolve faster than periodic reviews. This panel will explore in-time safety management: continuous sensing, earlier weak-signal detection, rapid analysis, and timely intervention supported by advanced data and AI capabilities. It will also examine the governance, validation, and human accountability required to ensure that faster intelligence leads to better — not merely faster — decisions.
