Research Services

For employers and practitioners alike, there is a growing emphasis on ensuring that occupational health and safety solutions are evidence-based.

Do you require high quality research and advice to help you:

• identify probable causes and potential solutions to workplace problems?
• evaluate the effectiveness of occupational health and safety initiatives, including cost-benefit?
• tackle stress at work?
• tackle presenteeism, and identify approaches to managing the problem?

Providing evidence-based solutions that work.

An organisation is a complex entity with a host of forces affecting the productivity of its workforce. In many cases, the causes are identifiable by an OH professional. However, where causes are not easily identifiable or a multitude of forces act together, systematic research is often the most effective method of identifying optimal solutions.

Previous projects:

• exploration of work-related illness and sick building syndrome
• effective Manual Handling Training - evaluation of current methods and development of standards
• cost-benefit evaluation of rehabilitation programmes for low back pain
• Workforce Health Survey - analysis of the relationship between health and work
• in collaboration with IOSH, COPE developed an online occupational health toolkit for non-clinicians
• addressing the most common causes of occupational ill-health today; stress and musculoskeletal disorders

Our Research Department works independently with Academic Institutions and Customers to answer health and workplace questions - establishing the evidence to support best practice.
