We aim to deliver research, learning and regulatory insights that widen the global conversation to enable a better working world. From health to engineering, wellbeing to social change and inequalities, resilience and digitalisation we aim to address the greatest challenges across the risk and regulatory landscape. We are committed to improving the health, safety and wellbeing of the workplace and its workforce.

We are at the centre of research looking at safer infrastructures, health at work, digitalisation and resilience as well as the impact of social change and inequalities on the workplace. Through the institute we bring together our resources and a multidisciplinary skill set in a coordinated way to undertake high quality research across the risk and regulatory landscape to help policymakers, regulators, businesses and communities benefit from our research.​
