In this bonus episode of Rethinking EHS, host Charlotte Buffoni (Antea Group UK) is joined by Massimo Cagnetta (HPC Italy) to explore how data center operators are managing rapidly evolving technologies, emerging risks, and increasingly complex operational environments. As digital infrastructure continues to expand and technologies such as artificial intelligence drive new demands, safety professionals are being challenged to adapt at an unprecedented pace. The episode also explores the organisational complexities of modern data centers, where responsibility is often shared across landlords, operators, contractors, and end users.
