HSE RIDDOR dashboard commercialisation

Highlights

HSE developed a beta RIDDOR dashboard with GOTT support, targeting interactive workplace safety insights and exploring a subscription-based commercial model.
GOTT funding enabled HSE to conduct market research and refine the dashboard's value proposition, positioning it as a potential Knowledge Asset for monetisation.
The dashboard initiative has prompted HSE to consider formal Knowledge Asset management and illustrates public sector use of datasets to boost safety and commercial capability.

Beta dashboard development and market pathway

As reported by GOV.UK, the Health and Safety Executive, or HSE, has used support from the Government Office for Technology Transfer, GOTT, to develop a beta version of its RIDDOR dashboard from an earlier alpha-stage concept with no defined commercial route. The project focuses on the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations dataset, the official record of work-related injuries, diseases, deaths and dangerous occurrences in Great Britain.

HSE is seeking to use the data more proactively by turning it into interactive visual insights that help employers, regulators and other stakeholders identify workplace safety risks and trends more easily. GOTT funding backed market research and product development, while advice through the Technology Transfer Strategic Partnership helped HSE refine the dashboard's value proposition, market positioning and potential routes to market, including a subscription-based platform for HSE products and services.

Commercial capability and public sector impact

The dashboard is being treated as a potential Knowledge Asset, an area that sits outside HSE's standard business-as-usual activities despite the regulator's existing innovation and commercial functions. The work has helped HSE build a stronger commercial mindset around how its data and research outputs could be managed, developed and potentially monetised.

HSE says the project has also triggered senior-level discussions about establishing more formal Knowledge Asset management structures. More broadly, the case study presents the dashboard as an example of how public sector bodies can use existing datasets and software to improve decision-making, widen access to safety intelligence and strengthen internal capability for commercialisation.

Our earlier coverage of the Competition Commission of Pakistan’s AI-assisted monitoring of digital markets explained how the regulator uses web-scraping and ad surveillance to flag potentially misleading online product claims for verification and possible enforcement. The article also noted the CCP’s emphasis on truthful, verifiable marketing and its push for cross-border cooperation to address fast-moving risks in digital commerce.
