Safety and Health Achievement Program (SHARP)
Health & Safety
Propel the industry’s progress on reducing the risk of occupational health, safety, and environmental hazards.
Staying Ahead of Risk
The global automotive industry is changing rapidly with the rise of advanced electronics, electrification, automation, and AI. Through this change, leadership and technical proficiency become even more important to health and safety. Automotive OEMs and suppliers of all sizes need to proactively identify and reduce the risk of emerging occupational, health, safety, and environmental (OHSE) hazards.
What’s driving new health and safety approaches?
Traditionally, safety efforts have focused on energy control, working at heights, and confined space entry. And occupational health focused on ergonomic risks and inhalation exposures. These approaches must continue to evolve — specifically to address OHSE risks associated with the increasing use and sophistication of stored energy and an expanding range of emerging manufacturing, logistics, and component technologies.
AIAG collaborates with OHSE professionals from automotive OEMs and suppliers to create resources to improve OHSE for employees of companies of all sizes throughout the supply chain.
