Breakout Session – Enhancing Safety Through AI-Powered Driver Monitoring

Adam Bowers, Safety, Health and Wellbeing Partner, Linfox Australia & New Zealand

This 30-minute interactive workshop equips safety leaders with practical strategies to improve workplace safety using AI in-cab driver monitoring technology, especially in high-risk sectors such as transportation. Participants will discover how AI can identify risk indicators like fatigue, distraction, and harsh driving events before they lead to incidents.

The session explores how this technology supports proactive safety management, aligns with Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) and Just Culture principles, and strengthens both safety and operational efficiency.

  • Learn how AI-driven monitoring uses behavioural data to identify early warning signs and reduce incident rates.
  • Understand how AI complements HOP, Safety Differently, and Just Culture approaches that prioritise learning and care.
  • Gain strategies to address privacy concerns, build trust, and drive workforce engagement through transparent communication.
  • Explore how to position AI monitoring as both a safety and performance enhancement tool that improves efficiency and reduces costs.
