Overview
Building strong evidence helps us understand where and why intervention is needed, and where we can make a difference. It enables us to create and demonstrate impact as we advance global engineering safety.
Aims
We aim to drive improvements in the availability, quality and accessibility of data, synthesis of evidence, and implementation of evidence into practice to improve safety outcomes.
Unification
Improving safety data: quality, availability and completeness
How can we improve the routine collection and accessibility of high quality safety data?
Insight
Synthesizing evidence to understand greatest need and what works
Where data is available, are we getting maximum insight from it?
Application
Supporting evidence into practice
When we generate useful insights, how can we ensure they are acted upon by those with the power to make a difference?
