Innovating the Future of Workplace Safety
#World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2025
This World Day for Safety and Health at Work, BGEN celebrates its ongoing commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its teams and partners. With the support of our parent company M Group, and through the adoption of an Industry 5.0 approach, we are reimagining safety by embracing innovation and digitalisation. By putting safety at the heart of everything we do, we’re shaping a more collaborative, secure, and forward-thinking environment for all.
From Traditional Methods to Modern Innovations
The journey of workplace safety has come a long way. Not so long ago, assessments relied on pen and paper, and processes were as manual as the iconic scenes of workers scaling the Rockefeller Centre or painting Nelson’s Column. While these methods laid the groundwork, they often lacked the agility to address dynamic, real-time hazards.
Today’s Digital Safety Landscape
BGEN has embraced state-of-the-art technologies to make safety smarter, more efficient, and more proactive. Tools like FYLD use AI to conduct risk assessments, combining images and descriptions to identify potential hazards and implement controls. This innovative approach has garnered industry recognition and improved safety outcomes significantly.
Additionally, solutions like What3Words enhance safety for lone workers, ensuring precise location tracking in emergencies. HAVS watches, which monitor vibration exposure, align with HSE’s latest trends and guidelines, helping us proactively address health risks in the workplace.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Safety
Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop here. The future holds even more exciting developments:
· Drones will be used to scan above and below ground for hazards, reducing human exposure to dangerous environments.
· Digital reporting and analytics will provide real-time insights, enabling automated inspections and audits that enhance decision-making.
· Workforce monitoring will track behaviours to improve practices like manual handling and identify opportunities to prevent injuries.
· Automated health monitoring will detect early signs of stress, blood pressure issues, or HAVS risks, empowering teams to address concerns before they become problems.
