Practical Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI Tools for Workplace Safety Professionals (with 4 SDUs)

SYNOPSIS

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the way organisations manage workplace safety and health. From automating administrative tasks to supporting data-driven decision-making, AI has become a valuable tool for Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) professionals seeking to improve efficiency, consistency, and safety performance.

The Practical Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI Tools for Workplace Safety Professionals course is designed to equip Workplace Safety and Health Officers (WSHOs), Safety Supervisors, Safety Managers, and other safety practitioners with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in using AI responsibly within workplace safety operations.

Participants will learn how to leverage widely available AI and Generative AI tools to streamline common workplace safety activities, including:

Risk assessment preparation
Safe Work Procedure (SWP) development and review
Incident investigation and root cause analysis
Workplace safety inspections
Safety audits and compliance documentation
Toolbox meeting preparation
Safety training content creation
Report writing and document summarisation

Unlike theoretical AI courses, this programme focuses on practical workplace applications that participants can implement immediately in their organisations using free or commonly available AI tools. Throughout the course, participants will develop effective AI prompts, evaluate AI-generated outputs, and learn best practices for verifying information to maintain professional accuracy and regulatory compliance.

The course also covers the responsible use of AI, including ethical considerations, data protection, cybersecurity awareness, governance principles, and professional accountability. Participants will understand where AI adds value, where human judgement remains essential, and how AI should be used as a decision-support tool rather than a replacement for professional expertise.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to confidently integrate AI into their daily workplace safety practices, reduce administrative workload, improve productivity, and enhance the overall quality of safety management while maintaining compliance with organisational and regulatory requirements.
