The impact of climate change on safety at work
We wanted to understand how climate change affects worker safety in different sectors around the world, and the evidence gaps that still need to be filled.
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:
- Safe work particularly in ‘high hazard’ industries, building on insights from the Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll.
- 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.

What occupational safety and health practitioners need from an evidence centre
We wanted to understand how occupational safety and health practitioners in high-risk industries used evidence in their work, and what additional knowledge they considered important to do their jobs well.

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.
