Business engagement

To date we have engaged with stakeholders from 200+ organisations in over 30 different sectors including construction, local government, unions and academia.

Ashton’s interface to government, understanding of the national regulatory agenda and partnership with HSE, has already spawned multiple projects from UKRI, Lloyds Research Foundation and particularly from COVID-19 calls, and to date we have ca. £12M of funding awarded and in review from UKRI and other national bodies.​

We aim for the Institute to become a global player in the journey to improve health, safety and wellbeing within the workplace. We are working hard to improve the visibility of, and the reach of research at The University of Manchester (UoM) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), enhancing our national and global reputation for highest quality risk and regulatory research.
