IOSH publishes free research reports

26 March 2010

IOSH has published three new research reports that are now free to download.

The first report document, called Factors affecting the supervision of safety, was an independent study IOSH commissioned from the University of Liverpool which looked to identify what factors affect construction supervisors in their safety leadership behaviours.

The second report, called Measuring heat stress in industry, was commissioned from the Institute of Occupational Medicine and looks at techniques for measuring core body temperature. This will be of particular interest to those working in industries such as glassmaking, metal refining and baking.

The third, How supply chains influence health and safety at work commissioned from Cardiff and Oxford Brookes Universities, carries out a review of international research literature on supply chain management and the nature and extent of its influence on health and safety.
