The Global Safety Podcast explores how engineers and scientists are making the world a safer place. We face colossal challenges today; challenges that threaten the lives of millions of people. Each day 6,300 people die in workplace accidents and 420,000 people a year die from foodborne diseases. Many of these deaths are avoidable. The Global Safety Podcast investigates the biggest safety issues facing the planet and looks at the latest science and innovations being developed to safeguard our future in an unpredictable world. How can we feed a growing population, whilst still ensuring that food is safe to eat? And how can we keep people safe with more and more robots in the workplace and driverless cars soon to become a reality?

    Where Have All The Engineers Gone?

    We need a skilled workforce of engineers to meet the challenges we’ll collectively face in the coming decades as we strive towards a net zero economy. But right now, there is a problem: we don’t have enough engineers to futureproof the planet. Recent data suggests that the UK alone is several hundred thousand engineers short, and each of the required engineers needs to be trained to the right level.   In this episode of the Global Safety Podcast from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Danielle George asks a panel of experts ’where have all the engineers gone’. Tim Slingsby from Lloyds Register Foundation, civile engineer and ICE STEM ambassador Virtue Igbokwuwe, and CEO of Engineering UK, Hilary Leevers discuss ways to attract and inspire our next generation of engineers.

    How To Safeguard Our Online Data

    Data is shared 24hrs a day, 7 days a week – by everyone and increasingly by ‘everything’. So, in a world that is driven by data, how do we make sure that we’re safe? Mistakes can occur in even the safest systems. Machines can break down and cyber-attacks are becoming an increasing threat. And how do we ensure that we keep a close eye on the autonomous technology such as robots, co-bots and self-driving cars? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Future of Risk Post-Covid

    Covid-19 has changed the world in many ways - crucially, it’s heightened our awareness of the unpredictability of life on this planet and the risks we face. But how much do we – the public – understand about risk? Are risks explained to us by Governments and scientists in a way that we all understand?  In this episode of The Global Safety Podcast, our host Professor Danielle George explores how risk is communicated, what we've learnt from the pandemic, and how to ensure those learnings make the world a safer and more resilient place.
