In the predicting risk work the feasibility of deploying off the shelf predictive analytic tools for use in health and safety contexts has been explored.
Lloyd’s Register FoundationDiscovering Safety Programme
Imagine a world where no one dies as a consequence of work, where industry doesn’t suffer catastrophic failure, where companies can say that no one was harmed in the making of their product and where accidents can be predicted and therefore prevented.
Our work
Loss of containment insights
Across the process industries, both on and offshore, a key focus is upon maintaining primary containment. Primary containment refers to keeping flammable and toxic materials inside plant items such as vessels, tanks and pipework.
Leading indicators for health and safety performance assessment
The leading indicators of health and safety failures use case looked to support construction contractors in the collection and analysis of health and safety lead indicators intelligence as part of drives to promote more proactive health and safety practice on construction projects.
Construction risk library
Building on the successful work in phase one from the construction risk knowledge management using BIM use case, where the industry need for an integrated safety and building management tool was evidenced, we have proposed to further develop a tool, in particular, to widen out its scope to inclu
Get involved
We're looking to engage with a wide group of stakeholders, within the UK and internationally, to further understand the key health and safety challenges they face and where a data-driven approach could make a positive impact on these.

Rise in industry use of AI technologies in workplaces and future challenges for health and safety: Part 3
In Part 2 of this article series I considered a number of challenges associated with the rise in use of industrial AI systems in workplaces, namely 1) the emergence of new health and safety risks stemming from the use of the technologies; 2) the challenges of judging whether any risks to health a
Rise in industry use of AI technologies in workplaces and future challenges for health and safety: Part 2
In Part 1 of this article I considered potential knock on effects for health and safety in the event that industrial AI systems used in workplaces get it wrong and offered a perspective on key considerations in attempting to mitigate such risks.
