Safety And Risk Success9 Mai 2025

Let's Discuss the State of Safety 2025 Survey Results

Is your organisation focusing on the right safety risks, or just the loudest ones?

In this compelling roundtable edition of the podcast, I break down the key findings from our landmark State of Safety 2025 report, built on the insights of over 550+ safety professionals. From shifting mindsets to tech adoption and underreported hazards, the data reveals where we're thriving, where we're blind, and what we urgently need to address.

We also explore what's getting in the way, be it change resistance, low near-miss reporting, or misaligned priorities, and offer reflections on how we can raise our game as a profession. If you care about the future of safety, this conversation is essential listening.

Episode Highlights

Purpose over compliance: Most safety pros are motivated by protecting people, not just ticking boxes
Organisational disconnect: 20% gap between personal values and perceived company priorities
Underreporting near-misses: 18% say they had none last year—likely a cultural issue
Mental health rising: Most underestimated risk and top future safety concern
Tech adoption lagging: 43% haven't adopted basic safety tech despite strong belief in its value
Change resistance: Top barrier to safety progress, followed by financial constraints
Priority mismatch: Slips are 2nd in harm but 8th in organisational priority
Low early-career satisfaction: Newer professionals report the least job fulfilment
Call to action: Close gaps between data and action; reframe safety as a strategic asset
