Julia Fritz (Sky) on strategic HSE management, Return on Prevention, and the role of AI in occupational safety.

Preventive occupational safety is still treated as a cost factor in many organizations – yet studies by DGUV and IVSS have long proven otherwise: workplace prevention delivers a Return on Prevention of up to 2.2. Issue #56 of GOOD TO KNOW! puts this into practical perspective.

Julia Fritz, Head of Health & Safety at Sky, continues her interview series with a forward-looking focus on strategic HSE management: How can resources be deployed preventively and effectively? What role do digitalization and AI play in early risk detection? And why is workplace safety not just a legal obligation, but a societal responsibility?

Her insights speak directly to HSE professionals, safety managers, and leaders who want to build a sustainable safety culture – from risk assessment to boardroom decision-making.

Also in this issue: the Zebra Stripe column by Dr. Renate Mayer, with a sharp reflection on the quality of silence in safety conversations.
