Central to the Discovering Safety programme is the development of new techniques to analyse data and aggregate data from sources worldwide, the key output being new learning to help prevent future accidents occurring.
The programme will work with industry, academics and governments from the global community, generating bespoke solutions for local contexts, including the challenges faced in developing countries.
It will be built around the creation of a global knowledge resource comprising HSE’s comprehensive accident and incident investigation information, which spans the majority industries and covers the past 40 years. This will be augmented by other rich sources of information from across the globe.
Once assembled, users will be able to access a research & development environment to discover novel ways to exploit health and safety data. The knowledge resource will be mined and analysed by our experts to gain deep understanding of why, and how, safety and health failures occur around the world.
The outputs will be disseminated through an international programme of training, education, and practical solutions, that will improve global health and safety performance, resulting in many lives saved, and a safer working world.
