Driving technology adoption to enhance worker health, safety, wellbeing and productivity in safety-critical industries
OSHX: A New Approach to Safety Innovation
OSHX is a step-change in workplace safety—moving beyond compliance to integrate safety into efficiency, productivity, and risk management.
- Safety, productivity, and efficiency are deeply connected—a safer workforce is a more productive one.
- Industry, technology, and government must work together—safety innovation can’t happen in silos.
- OSHX brings these forces together—ensuring safety solutions align with industry needs and drive measurable impact.
By breaking down silos and aligning priorities, OSHX creates a unified strategy for safety innovation—one that benefits both workers and business performance.
Why OSHX ?
The ‘X’ in OSHX represents amplification—recognising that leading health and safety performance enables higher productivity, efficiency, and resilience in the workplace.

The Challenge: Safety & Health Innovation is Stuck
Workplace safety, health, and resilience should be advancing, yet progress remains slow.
- Too many injuries, too many lost days
-
- 300,000+ deaths globally.
- 47,000 UK construction injuries.
- 2.6 million out of work due to long-term health conditions.
-
- Mental and physical health are under strain
- Burnout, fatigue, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs ) are leading causes of long-term sickness.
- The cost is massive
-
- Workplace injuries costs the global economy $3 trillion annually.
Why is Innovation Slow?
The technology to solve these challenges already exists—AI, wearables, predictive analytics—but adoption remains slow because
- Safety tech is often pushed rather than pulled, making it disconnected from real workflows.
- Tight margins, complex regulations, and siloed efforts make it hard to scale solutions.
- Even when new solutions emerge, they often fail to move beyond pilot stages before making a real impact.
