Sharing Data, Saving Lives

Recorded: November 8, 2022

Timing: 12.00 – 13.00 (GMT)

What’s this Sharing data, saving lives webinar about?

If the built environment sector could systematically share design risk data across projects, programmes and asset owners, it could reap significant safety and economic benefits.

On 8 November we’re running a short webinar to explore the findings of a six-month project run by the HSE in collaboration with Atkins, the Open Data Institute and Metis Digital on how design risk data can be shared, and assessing how the sector can realize the benefits in practice.

Who should attend the Sharing data, saving lives webinar?

• Built environment public and private clients
• Design and construction professionals (designers, engineers, contractors, consultants, installers)

What will participants gain?

• More understanding of why it’s important to share design risk data
• Ideas on how barriers to data sharing can be overcome
• A vision of some of the benefits the sector could achieve by sharing design risk data
• The opportunity to put questions in advance to our subject experts
• A post-event copy of all presentations and a recording of the webinar

Gordon Crick is the technical lead for matters relating to BIM and digital information management in construction within the Health & Safety Executive. He has over 30 years experience with HSE as an Inspector, and leads the BIM 4 Health & Safety Working Group. This working group formed the springboard from which PAS 1192-6:2018 was developed, and most recently has agreed with the UK BIM Framework for a Clients Guidance Note to be published on their website.

The collaboration between BIM 4 Health & Safety and UK BIM Framework has most recently resulted in 5 new examples being published on how to use Information Requirements from ISO 19650 to improve Health & Safety outcomes .

Gordon also leads the Discovering Safety “Construction Risk Library” Project for Construction Division of HSE.  

Gordon was the HSE project  lead for the Sharing Data Saving Lives Project which was funded by a grant from the Regulators’ Pioneer Fund launched by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).  This project ran from Sept 2021 until March 2022, and has established the business case for sharing health & safety data in the design phase, as well as exploring  how these benefits can be realised.
