Safety Science
Envisioning a
Safer Future
Safety science aims to make the world’s extraordinary technological progress safer.
From energy storage systems and electric vehicles to artificial intelligence — these innovations deliver promise as society copes with everything from climate change and wildfires to PFAS-exposure and privacy breaches.
Still, we must ensure the technologies that define the 21st century are designed with safety in mind so their unintended consequences don’t outshine their benefits.
Safety science does just that — helping to illuminate and address the fire, electric, chemical, digital, and sustainability risks associated with scientific advancements through rigorous research, real-world testing, and educational resources.
