Episode Description:
What happens when a 30-year EHS leader builds his own digital twin… then treats that AI the exact same way process-safety professionals treat critical controls?
In this episode of The Connected Workers Podcast, Ronald “Chet” Brandon (Senior Director of Global Sustainability, Product Stewardship & Regulatory Affairs at Hexion) drops the hype and gets ruthlessly practical. He walks us through the executive knowledge system he created to scale judgment (not just answers), why most organizations are already outrunning their governance, and the non-negotiable rule that AI can never carry accountability for a serious injury, loss of containment, or regulatory violation.
Compliance is the floor. Control reliability is the operating test.
And the human in the loop is not a ceremonial reviewer — it is part of the control system. If you work in oil & gas, chemicals, manufacturing, or any high-consequence environment and you’re being asked to “just add AI,” this conversation is required listening.
