The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has created a beta version of an interactive dashboard designed to commercialise its Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) dataset. This dashboard aims to transform official records of work-related incidents into insights, making it easier for users to understand workplace health and safety risks and trends.
The development of the RIDDOR dashboard, which falls outside HSE's standard operations, received support from GOTT. This assistance included market research, grant funding, and advice on its value proposition and potential routes to market, such as a subscription-based platform.
HSE reported that the project has fostered a stronger commercial mindset within the organisation. It has also prompted senior-level discussions regarding more formal Knowledge Asset management structures.
