Data-Driven Safety

Data-Driven Safety is the strategic use of data analytics and technology to enhance safety performance and support informed decision-making in workplace health and safety.

By collecting, analysing, and interpreting data from various sources—such as incident reports, hazard observations, and wearable technology—organisations can identify patterns, predict risks, and prioritise interventions.

This approach allows for the proactive management of safety, focusing on preventing incidents rather than reacting to them. It enables the identification of leading indicators, measures the effectiveness of safety programs, and supports continuous improvement.

Data-driven safety empowers organisations to make evidence-based decisions that foster a safer, more efficient working environment.
