About

An independent look at what comes next in safety.

The Future of Safety is an industry research, insights, and professional community initiative focused on how workplace safety is evolving.

What this is

The Future of Safety is not a safety software company, a consulting firm, or a traditional safety association. It does not sell software, training, or professional services. Its work is research, published insight, and a community of practice.

Research • Insights • Community

The questions it follows

  • Digitalization

    How organizations are moving safety processes, records and field workflows from paper to connected systems.

  • Innovation

    New approaches to preventing incidents, identifying hazards and engaging workers.

  • Artificial Intelligence

    How AI is beginning to change risk identification, analysis, decision support and safety administration.

  • Technology

    Mobile platforms, sensors, wearables, computer vision, connected equipment and emerging safety technologies.

  • Leadership

    The people, culture and organizational decisions that ultimately determine whether safety systems work.

The first publication

The first flagship effort is the 2027 State of Workplace Safety study. It is still being designed. Over time, the site will also carry interviews, articles, and benchmarking from that work.
