93 - Technology Projects to Enable Breakthrough Safety Performance (Room 31A)

Dow Chemical Co. has developed technology plans that provide a road map to enable breakthrough safety and health performance. Projects within the technology plans are driving new approaches to how Dow identifies and mitigates safety and health risks. In this session, we’ll discuss examples of innovation projects in the areas of ergonomics, noise, thermal stress and lone worker protection, along with practical learnings from successful (and unsuccessful) pilots of some of the technologies at various manufacturing locations worldwide. You’ll learn about the challenges and opportunities associated with managing these safety and health innovation projects in parallel with broader initiatives to digitally transform Dow’s manufacturing operations.
