Redefine Safety & Go Beyond Compliance by Unifying People, Systems & Processes to Prevent Incidents in High-Risk Environments
The data center industry is booming, with U.S. construction spending projected to hit $31.5 billion in 2025. Yet this rapid growth brings serious safety challenges. Over 500,000 skilled tradespeople are needed to meet demand, but many workers lack training in critical procedures, with 60% report little or no instruction in Energy Control (LOTO or commissioning safety. Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) rates are rising, and with 70% of new builds leased to hyperscalers, fragmentation in project oversight is causing lost productivity and delays. It’s no longer enough to “comply”, data center owners, operators and contractors must embed EHS as a strategic driver of quality, performance and resiliency, from construction through to operations.
That’s why the Advancing Data Center EHS 2025 returned as the definitive, targeted forum for 100+ EHS professionals from leading hyperscalers, colocators, general contractors and designers to align on the future of EHS in this ever-booming digital age. Attendees joined us across 3 days of interactive workshops, presentations, panels and audience discussions to uncover everything from smarter prequalification and onboarding processes, improving coordination from construction through to operations, understanding how advancements in energy solutions are going to impact EHS scope through to mitigating risks during electrical startup and much more!
Don’t miss the chance to be part of the conversation in 2026, so as an industry we can come together to redefine EHS for the next generation of data centers.
