Safety Innovation Award 2025

Recognising practical initiatives that improve health and safety outcomes. These projects demonstrate how innovation translates into real-world operational benefits.

The 2025 Safety Innovation Award recognised Air Products for its project on accident prevention through artificial intelligence at its Laguna site in Spain.
The solution uses real-time analysis of CCTV images to detect patterns that may lead to unsafe situations — particularly during vehicle movements and loading operations. It provides immediate alerts to help operators anticipate risks such as collisions or blind spots.
Designed to support, rather than monitor, people, the system enhances situational awareness and feeds data into longer-term risk analysis.
The project shows how digital tools can be used in a practical way to move from reaction to anticipation — a key step in improving safety performance across the industry.
