Monday, September 16, 2013: 4:25 PM-5:25 PM
Bayhill 25 (Peabody Orlando)

Level of Course: Mid

Come see first-hand how our collaborative team of safety experts and the world’s leading artificial intelligence and predictive modeling researchers – including members from the group that helped build the Watson super-computer that beat Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter on Jeopardy – are designing cutting edge analytics tools to predict workplace injuries so they can be prevented. This presentation will outline the predictive methodologies we have developed and their real-world application across diverse worksites such as construction, heavy manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas, among others.

While this is a complex topic, we will break it down into its simplest elements using everyday language and real-world analogies. In fact, many of the insights from this analysis are very intuitive and can have an immediate impact on your safety performance and overall business.
