Digital safety comes of age

The state of safety programs in 2026

Corporate safety programs are steadily maturing. Digitalization is rising. Leading indicators are expanding. With more sophisticated platforms, higher-quality data and emerging AI capabilities, EHS leaders can anticipate risks earlier and better protect their teams. But gaps still exist. Left unaddressed, they leave workers vulnerable and put operations at risk.

That’s why we surveyed 586 EHS and operations leaders from across industries in the US, UK and EU. In our 2026 Health and Safety Management report, we uncover how leading programs are positioned in terms of safety programs, technology and AI readiness. The report also includes a 2026 roadmap for applying digital progress to strengthen safety resilience.

Here’s what top leaders reveal about the state of safety management:
