Speaking Presentation – Safety That Pays – Leveraging Safety Through Innovation

Jay Ferguson, Head of HSE & Innovation, Programmed

This session will look at highlighting how investing in forward-thinking safety solutions not only protects people but also strengthens operational efficiency and business outcomes.

By integrating innovation into safety practices, organisations can reduce risks, lower costs, and create a culture where safety becomes a strategic advantage rather than just a compliance requirement.

Key takeaways:

  • Commercialising safety outcomes – building capacity and capability that can be channeled into revenue streams
  • Reinvestment into technology – efficiency gains from improved solutions are reinvested.
  • Future-focused growth – A strategic enabler that strengthens competitive advantage, supports ESG and long-term business objectives.
