Technology is changing rapidly and we need to embrace its
potential to keep the modern workplace a safer and healthier place
for all.
'Industrial Safetytech (IS)' such as artificial Intelligence,
visual analytics, augmented and virtual reality, internet of things
(IoT), sensors, wearables, drones and robotics, can redefine
approaches to health and safety management, but there remain
barriers to industry adoption which need to be better understood so
that they can be overcome.
About the project
There are great gains to be made in health and safety from using
innovative technologies, products and services that can help to
protect our workforces. That's why Discovering Safety, in
partnership with Safetytech Accelerator and others in the
construction industry, created the world's first regulatory sandbox
for Industrial Safetytech in an innovative, eight-month project
which concludes in October this year.
This project wouldn't have been possible without a grant from
the current round of the Regulators' Pioneer Fund, which is being
delivered by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology
(DSIT) and also the support of Lloyds Register Foundation.
The event
Join us in October where we'll be presenting together, the
knowledge gained from the project, the outcomes, next steps and the
project's six innovative solutions that break down barriers to IS
adoption in the Construction Industry.
This face-to-face event will celebrate and present the findings
from the Sandbox and the achievements of the organisations
involved. We are inviting delegates from Government, construction,
health and safety, tech, regulators and academia to come together
on this innovative and enabling topic.
The event will be a platform for partners to showcase their work
and build on relationships gained during the Sandbox project and so
entry is free to invited delegates.
Sponsorship opportunities
We're offering extra opportunities to promote, exhibit and
network at the event. Contact us by email at hsetraining@hse.gov.uk for

Seb Corby, Principal Consultant at Safetytech
Accelerator and Steven Naylor, Lead Scientist
at
Health and Safety Executive and technical specialist on
Discovering Safety will introduce five
sessions, one for each challenge. These showcase the results of
each of the five innovative projects
within the sandbox. Each session will include findings and a short
Q&A with HSE, tech and
industry partners.

1. FYLD is an award-winning digital platform
that automatically transforms video and audio
footage into real-time workflows, visual risk assessments and
analytics dashboards. By
harnessing the power of machine learning, it eliminates paperwork,
saves time and
creates safer sites.
|
|
|
2. HAL Robotics is an extensible and modular
software which facilitates inter-device
communication, adaptive programming of robot tasks and motion
planning for one or
many robots working together.

3. PLINX is a safety system using wireless
sensor technology designed to make construction
sites safer. The system protects construction workers and
employers by restricting
access, based on role and purpose, to areas of hazardous
activity.
|
|
|
4. Machine Eye employs the latest deep learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to
identify humans in real-time and understand their likely
interaction with a machine to
assist, inform and support decision making, leading to safer
workplaces.
|
|
|
5. The EAVE system consists of smart ear
defenders which continuously collect data on
environmental noise and the wearer's exposure to noise. Beacons
which work with the
ear defenders map worksite noise and present to an online platform
for viewing the data
and gathering insights. The system is used to protect over-exposed
workers, adjust
working methods and remove noise hazards at source.
