Video Interview: Accelerating Safety Innovation – Heathrow’s Role in the OSHX Lab
09/05/2025In this episode of Safetytech Accelerator Insights Series, Seb Corby, Principal Consultant at Safetytech Accelerator, speaks with Roly Latif, Head of Health and Safety for Infrastructure at Heathrow Airport. Roly discusses why Heathrow has joined Safetytech Accelerator and Discovering Safety (a programme of work led by Great Britain’s Health and Safety Executive, HSE) as one of the founding members of the Occupational Safety and Health X (OSHX) Lab—a new innovation programme focused on accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies to improve worker health and safety in safety-critical sectors.
The conversation explores how OSHX is structured around collaboration, not just across delivery partners and technology providers, but also with regulators and other asset owners. Roly reflects on Heathrow’s ambitions to modernise safety practices, the importance of linking safety to wider productivity and efficiency goals, and why shared innovation is essential to achieving scalable impact.
