Working with universities, industry, policymakers and international organisations, it promotes practical solutions and stronger safety capabilities across engineering, transport, energy and industrial sectors worldwide.
Lloyd's Register Foundation calls for more regular, tailored health and safety training and better reporting tools after discovering that nearly one in five (18%) workers have experienced harm at work globally.
Mining and quarrying is the sector with the third highest prevalence of workplace harm globally, according to the latest Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll report.
