🎥 Mastering AI Prompts: Using the SMART Acronym for Safety and Accuracy
The speaker explains how to treat AI as a team member or mentee, emphasizing that while the machine generates content, the professional's role shifts to being a fact-checker and copy editor to ensure safety and ethical standards.
By applying the SMART acronym—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely—to prompts, users can significantly improve the quality and relevance of the AI's output.
Viewers will learn how to divert their brain space toward quality control and fairness, ensuring that final products remain accurate and representative of their professional standards.
🎥 Conversation about AI for IH with Hillary Waterhouse, MPH, CIH
Let's meet Hillary Waterhouse:
Hillary Waterhouse, MPH, CIH, Principal and Owner of Waterhouse Technical Reports & Case Documentation, LLC, has earned a regional and national reputation for her detailed exposure assessments.
Her credentials include board certification in industrial hygiene (CIH) and Master’s Degree in Public Health from the University of Minnesota.
She has an expansive technical understanding of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chemical management programs under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and complex industrial hygiene assessment methodologies.
🎥 Automating Safety Compliance: Auditing OSHA Policies with AI Assistants
The speaker explains how to leverage AI assistants like Gemini to maintain regulatory compliance by feeding the system OSHA "absolutes" and comparing them against existing company programs.
By using the Hazard Communication (Hascom) standard as a primary example, the guide demonstrates a process for auditing safety manuals to satisfy ISO 45001 requirements and annual OSHA review recommendations.
Viewers will learn how to transition from manual updates to a proactive "Plan-Do-Check-Act" system, including an introduction to AI agents that autonomously monitor regulatory changes to ensure policies never fall out of date.

🗒️ Safety Wars 10-7-2026 Cornell--Accountability is Necesary, Prevention Takes More
Safety Wars: Cornell — Accountability Is Necessary, Prevention Takes MoreIn this 33-minute Safety Wars episode, host Jim examines the Cornell sexual assault case — dubbed the "Cornell Seven" — through a safety-investigation and human-organizational-performance (HOP) lens.
Drawing on a Slate article by consultant Hannah Scotland, Pulsel argues that punishment alone won't prevent the next catastrophe: individuals may change, but conditions persist.
He unpacks consent law, the role of intoxication, and perverse incentives that silence both victims and perpetrators.
The episode draws direct parallels to workplace safety culture — where people walk by hazards, avoid rocking the boat, and face institutional pressure to look the other way.
Pulsel calls for meaningful prevention: practical intervention skills, clear reporting routes, and environments where people can speak without retaliation.
