Emerging Technologies in Safety: Robotics, Drones, Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining

ASP written lesson, 7 min read. ASP Domain 2: Safety Programs and Concepts

Written with AI help from the rules it covers, then fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.

What you'll learn

  • Identify when robot-related injuries most often occur and how to control them
  • Name the three robot types NIOSH describes and their main hazards
  • Apply the key FAA Part 107 operating limits to a drone inspection
  • Describe the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and its voluntary status
  • Explain the uses and limits of data mining in safety

What this lesson covers

This lesson gives awareness-level coverage of four emerging technologies: industrial and collaborative robots (with OSHA and NIOSH hazard information), small drones under FAA Part 107, artificial intelligence (AI) under the voluntary NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and data mining of safety records. It stresses that each one both creates hazards and can reduce them.
