To ensure the Institute's research and expertise are widely shared, research programmes are being established alongside the development of training modules and tools for leaders in Health and Safety.

The Institute is developing a new Occupational Safety and Health programme for engineering disciplines, aligned with NEBOSH standards to ensure globally recognised, industry-relevant training.
