Join us for a transformative session exploring the critical intersections of safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the engineering profession. Led by Dr. Mark McBride-Wright, author of The SAFE Leader and a globally recognized advocate for inclusion in engineering, this webinar dives deep into how traditional norms of masculinity impact safety culture, workplace inclusion, and mental health in engineering.
Discover actionable insights from the SAFE Leader framework—Share, Act, Feel, Empower—and learn how to foster an environment where every engineer can thrive. By addressing societal pressures, breaking down barriers, and empowering leaders to embrace DEI as a core component of safety culture, participants will leave with tools to drive meaningful change in their organizations. This webinar is a must-attend for engineers, leaders, and DEI advocates striving to create safer, more inclusive engineering spaces.

Dr. Mark McBride-Wright MBE, CEng, FIChemE, FEI is an eminent leader in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the engineering sector, and has earned what he calls his “rainbow stripes” for diversity in engineering after setting up InterEngineering, the UK’s largest network for LGBTQ+ engineers in 2013. He won the coveted “Corporate Rising Star” Award at the 2016 British LGBT Awards, was ranked number 2 in the Financial Times Future LGBT Lead Leaders list. He received an MBE in King Charles III’s Birthday Honours for his services and dedication to the field of engineering.
After uncovering the high rates of suicide affecting engineers in 2018, Mark established research into Masculinity in Engineering to driving cultural transformation within organisations and founded EqualEngineers to bridge the gap between diverse talent and inclusive employers.
EqualEngineers has since made great strides in educating thousands of engineers and leaders in fostering inclusive, safe workplace cultures for clients such as Airbus, ExxonMobil, EDF Energy, and McLaren F1. Mark also travels internationally to provide consulting and training across Europe and the USA for clients in locations such as New Mexico, Colorado, Alabama, and California.
