Electrical Safety First has revealed the shortlist for its 2024 Safety Innovation Award, recognising cutting-edge solutions that improve electrical safety.
The award highlights innovations aimed at tackling key safety concerns, particularly as the UK transitions to cleaner energy, with the winner to be announced next month.
Among the finalists is PVSTOP by PVSTOP UK Ltd, which provides a safe method for first responders to de-energise vulnerable solar PV systems, reducing the risk of high-voltage hazards.
Also among the nominees is Buy Safe from Zibidi, which uses smart labels to verify the safety of e-mobility devices like e-bikes and e-scooters, with the initiative aiming to increase consumer trust and streamline safety management for retailers and regulators.
BatteryIQ™, developed by Boost Technology, also features on the shortlist with its focus on battery safety for e-mobility, while the SafeBatt Project, led by the Faraday Institution to investigate battery failure mechanisms and improve lithium-ion battery safety, completes the nominations.
Lesley Rudd, CEO of Electrical Safety First, praised the finalists for their innovative approaches. She said: “It’s great to see such a range of innovative solutions addressing safety issues. Each finalist brings a unique approach to improving consumer safety and we’re excited to see the winner present their idea at our conference in November.”
The winner of the Safety Innovation Award 2024 is set to be announced at the Electrical Product Safety Conference on Thursday 21 November, at Church House, London.
