Evidence programmes

Current research focus areas of the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Global Safety Evidence Centre.

The Global Safety Evidence Centre collates, creates and communicates the best available safety evidence within specific thematic areas aligned with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation strategy.

Currently, the Centre has two core evidence programmes:

  1. Safe work particularly in ‘high hazard’ industries, building on insights from the Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll.
  2. Safety science, i.e. knowledge about risk and safety related issues more broadly, and how to assess and manage them.

Explore our work within these evidence programmes below. The Centre will soon be producing Areas of Research Interest (ARI) documents that will specify in more detail the research questions and evidence gaps we are looking to address in these thematic areas.

Occupational safety and health interventions: The state of the evidence

One in five workers globally has experienced harm at work in the last two years, with workplace accidents and diseases causing three million deaths and 395 million non-fatal injuries annually. The Global Safety Evidence Centre explores the state of the evidence of occupational safety and health interventions in two new reports.

Risk: concept infographic

This infographic summarises the concept of risk is a safety context, as explored in the ‘Talking Risk’ and ‘Mapping Risk’ literature reviews that underpinned the development of the World Risk Poll.
