The winner of Discovering Safetys third Safetytech Challenge, run by Safetytech Accelerator, has shown how shortcuts are linked to many accidents that take place on site. Belfast-based company AuditComply has pointed the way towards better, evidence-based management of common safety risks, by digging into safety data held by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and actual Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS).

Discovering Safety is a partnership between the HSE and the Lloyds Register Foundation. Since 2020 theyve run Safetytech challenges through Safetytech Accelerator to explore the potential benefits of collaboration between regulators, industry and data technology and unlock the potential of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) in making work safe. The winners of each challenge take part in a three-month pilot project in collaboration with Safetytech Accelerator and industry partners, worth 25k in research time.
