Consultation: Network for Regulatory Innovation in Safetytech
Over the past two years, Discovering Safety (a programme led by the Health and Safety Executive) and Safetytech Accelerator have delivered several programmes aimed at fostering innovation within safety in construction. This includes the world’s first Industrial Safetytech Regulatory Sandbox and the ongoing Smarter Regulation Sandbox. While differing in nature, all these programmes have been designed to break down the barriers to entry, be they regulatory or otherwise, for emerging technology in construction and foster collaboration within the industry that leads to faster and wide uptake of impactful solutions that can enhance safety, wellbeing and the wider productivity aims of the industry.

These individual projects have not only organically fostered a community of innovators that includes both industry and tech, but shown the power of collaboration in and of itself. New relationships are formed between the regulator, tech and industry that have generated brand new initiatives, changed the way tech pitches to industry and enabled novel partnerships between the three groups of stakeholders that are beneficial for all.

This consultation proposes the formalisation of the presently ad-hoc and organic network that has been developed, with a focus on fostering further collaboration between industry players, technology companies and the regulator. Sandboxes and technology accelerators run by Discovering Safety would exist within this network, with the network representing the base level of interaction and engagement between the parties involved.

The aim of this potential network would be to accelerate technology into industrial environments through closer alignment of needs and provision and to remove regulation as a barrier to innovation for both industry and technology alike.

Discovering Safety and Safetytech Accelerator are now seeking views from industry, academia and technology providers to define the structure and individual requirements from such a network.
