Organised by the IOSH Hazardous industries group (HIG), this project responds to the challenge raised at the 'Leading from the top – avoiding major incidents' conference in 2008. The group is looking to set up a sustainable, cross-sector, peer review process for a range of activities and safety-critical organisations.

London 2012 Safety Evaluation Workshop

This project brings together leading academics and researchers in construction with an interest in health and safety. The workshop explores whether there's interest among delegates to carry out evaluations of interventions in Europe's largest construction project: the Olympic Park.

Following the workshop, research teams will be able to submit funding proposals to carry out the studies.

Presidential visit: 10th Year Anniversary Activities in Hong Kong

Organised by the Hong Kong branch, this project marked their 10th year anniversary.

Inter-Institutional Group (IIG) on Health and Safety and Undergraduate Engineering Training

Funding will enable the IIG to look at the needs of undergraduate engineers and review the current health and safety training material, assess other material which may be included, and explore how further corporate project sponsorship can be attracted. The project will also consider how other disciplines, both in and outside of the UK can benefit from the training material.
