The impact of the climate crisis is evident – heatwaves, wildfires, floods and other weather events are increasing in frequency and severity… But is our infrastructure up to the job of protecting us? In this episode, Professor Danielle George explores what needs to be done to ensure our future infrastructure is safe, sustainable, and resilient to the effects of climate change.

The Global Safety Podcast explores how engineers and scientists are making the world a safer place.

We face colossal challenges today; challenges that threaten the lives of millions of people. Each day 6,300 people die in workplace accidents and 420,000 people a year die from foodborne diseases. Many of these deaths are avoidable.

The Global Safety Podcast investigates the biggest safety issues facing the planet and looks at the latest science and innovations being developed to safeguard our future in an unpredictable world. How can we feed a growing population, whilst still ensuring that food is safe to eat? And how can we keep people safe with more and more robots in the workplace and driverless cars soon to become a reality?

We need a skilled workforce of engineers to meet the challenges we’ll collectively face in the coming decades as we strive towards a net zero economy. But right now, there is a problem: we don’t have enough engineers to futureproof the planet. Recent data suggests that the UK alone is several hundred thousand engineers short, and each of the required engineers needs to be trained to the right level.  

In this episode of the Global Safety Podcast from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Danielle George asks a panel of experts ’where have all the engineers gone’. Tim Slingsby from Lloyds Register Foundation, civile engineer and ICE STEM ambassador Virtue Igbokwuwe, and CEO of Engineering UK, Hilary Leevers discuss ways to attract and inspire our next generation of engineers.

Where Have All The Engineers Gone?

Data is shared 24hrs a day, 7 days a week – by everyone and increasingly by ‘everything’. So, in a world that is driven by data, how do we make sure that we’re safe? Mistakes can occur in even the safest systems. Machines can break down and cyber-attacks are becoming an increasing threat. And how do we ensure that we keep a close eye on the autonomous technology such as robots, co-bots and self-driving cars?

How To Safeguard Our Online Data

Professor Danielle George explores the world's most hazardous workplace - the ocean. By 2030 the oceans will provide direct employment for 40 million jobs. But those who work at sea have some of the most dangerous professions on the planet. With the help of a panel of experts, Danielle explores what’s needed to keep people who risk their lives at sea every day, safer.
