Challenge 2 - Safety & Security
HS2 is committed to creating a railway designed, built and operated to the highest health, safety and security standards. To achieve this, we have set the following objectives:
- To set a better standard for health and safety performance in the delivery of a major project
- To prevent injury and proactively manage risk
- To protect HS2 assets and those of its suppliers
The challenges we want to address
How can we use data and digital technologies to predict and/or mitigate:
- On-site risks and hazards – including digital solutions for:
- Behavioural analysis, identifying potential risks and/ or hazards in real-time and mitigating these before they occur on site
- Keeping workers safe through reducing exposure to fixed hazards such as excavation collapses and working at height - Unauthorised access to HS2 sites – including digital solutions for:
- Identifying and alerting when unauthorised access has been gained to sites, including innovations to predict and prevent these instances
- Identifying and alerting when workers enter excluded or restricted zones that they are not cleared to be in
