From Hazard Prediction to Lean Safety Excellence in the Age of Industry 4.0
Workplace safety is no longer just about compliance-it's about prediction, prevention, and continuous improvement.
In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Soliman, industrial engineering professor and author of over 100 books, explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming occupational health and safety.
From computer vision detecting PPE violations, to predictive analytics forecasting risks, to digital twins simulating accident scenarios, this book shows how organizations can shift from reactive safety to autonomous, proactive safety systems.
Inside, you will learn how AI enhances every layer of safety management:
✔ Hazard detection & predictive safety analytics
✔ AI-enabled root cause analysis & incident review
✔ Compliance automation (OSHA, ISO 45001, global standards)
✔ Worker engagement through wearables, AR, and digital tools
✔ Integration of Lean principles-discover how the Seven Wastes apply to safety, and how AI helps eliminate them
Why this book is unique:
- It bridges AI technology with occupational safety management in a way no other book does.
- Includes a Lean Safety appendix that reframes safety through the lens of Lean thinking.
- Written for engineers, safety professionals, managers, and business leaders who want to move beyond compliance into strategic safety excellence.
Whether you are in manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, logistics, or healthcare, this book will help you harness AI to create safer, smarter, and more resilient workplaces.
Take the next step toward the future of safety management.
