Risk Matrix #120: 2025 Predictions Revisited: What We Got Right and What We Missed
We made some predictions for 2025. Some stuck. Some didn’t.
Dr. Martin and James take a hard look at what actually happened in workplace safety this year: the AI hype that fell short, heat illness that’s still killing workers, mental health discussions that lack implementation, and what safety leaders need to watch in 2026.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- AI in safety is still mostly hype. Until someone shows real data on how it’s improving worker safety, the buzzwords don’t matter.
- Heat illness continues to kill workers while the industry debates standards. The solution exists right now. It’s called implementation.
- Mental health in the workplace is being discussed everywhere, but companies still aren’t actually putting it into practice. More awareness doesn’t equal action.
