    Safety Margin EP1 - Are Process Safety Incidents Actually Getting Worse? Can AI Help?

    Are process safety incidents actually getting worse, or are we just seeing more of them? The debut episode of Safety Margin opens with a fatal January 2026 H2S incident at a Maine pulp mill, then digs into conflicting data on whether the industry is slipping. Hosts John Perez (founder of Cognascents, chemical engineer), Justin Daarud (asset integrity, reliability & AI director, mechanical engineer), and John King (API 510 pressure vessel inspector) also break down what AI really means for engineering—chatbots vs. deterministic workflows, hallucinations, and the "golden thread" of auditability—before closing with a fun take on medieval armor as the original asset integrity program.
