Shaping the Standards of Tomorrow
Manage episode 416939475 series 1920844
How does a 130-year-old company shape the future? By shaping the standards of tomorrow. Hear Dr. David Steel, Executive Director of UL Standards and Engagement, break down what UL does to ensure new innovations - from electric vehicles to autonomous tech - meet critical safety standards before coming to market. As David explains, UL brings together over 4,000 volunteers across industries and academia to build consensus around developing voluntary safety protocols, which prevents regulators from outright banning new technologies and stifling innovation.
In this episode:
- Learn how UL traces its safety mission back to 1894 and the early days of electricity.
- Hear how UL standards help "unlock the promise of innovation safely."
- Discover why diversity and inclusive language matter in upholding universal safety.
