Health and safety in a changing world

Abstract

This editorial summarizes the work of the research programme ‘Health and Safety in a Changing World’, commissioned by IOSH and carried out between 2010 and 2015 by teams from the Institute of Occupational Medicine, Loughborough University, Cranfield University and the Universities of Nottingham (Leka et al., this issue), Reading and Portsmouth. In what follows, we first outline the background to the research programme followed by a brief description of the six papers in the special issue. A final section covers information about how to access the full research reports from the research programme, as well as details of a book based on the programme which will be published in January 2017.
