Falls from height have been the leading cause of workplace fatalities in the UK since 2020, accounting for 28% of deaths in 2024/25. In the US, OSHA consistently identifies fall protection as the most frequently violated standard across all industries. Despite decades of awareness and well-established control measures, serious injury and fatality rates remain stubbornly high. The question is no longer what works, but why aren’t we learning from each other?
This thought leadership webinar challenges the traditional approach to safety knowledge management and explores how cross-industry data sharing, standardized reporting frameworks and collaborative learning can break the cycle of repeated incidents.
Drawing on recent Verdantix research showing insufficient knowledge transfer as a primary barrier to SIF reduction, industry leaders will discuss why safety lessons remain siloed, how modern EHS platforms can enable secure data exchange, the role of AI in surfacing patterns that single organizations can't detect alone and practical frameworks for cross-sector collaboration.
The speakers will discuss how integrated EHS platforms can serve as the technical foundation for this collaborative future while maintaining data security and governance.
