  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on January 16, 2024 at 12:47 pm

  Hello Safety Analytics Community Members,

  
  I hope all is well! We are one week away from our January (2024) Safety Analytics Community Conversation and want to get you excited about the session taking place. On Tuesday, January 23 at 2:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by Sean Marden, Lead Data Scientist and Matt Pacenka, Manager, Performance and Reporting, NE Safety Organization at National Grid who will be leading a discussion on, “Machine Learning Helps National Grid’s Safety Teams Become More Proactive.” As this discussion will be interactive, we encourage you to come prepared with questions and your insight.

  Learn more about this session and our speaker below!

  Session Description:

  National Grid’s Safety and Data Science teams have worked together to find new ways to learn from safety data and empower efforts to improve safety culture and reduce serious injuries. Identifying real differences and changes within noisy data has required close collaboration and a number of different approaches. Using Duration Analysis, we have begun to highlight pockets of safety excellence and identify groups at elevated risk. Confidence intervals have allowed for improving the stability and usefulness of several safety metrics as well as helping to define testable hypotheses about worker safety. These efforts are now helping to inform our safety strategy and develop solutions which are more focused and impactful in preventing SIFs and reducing workplace safety risks over time.
