Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) research

The School of Property, Construction and Project Management (PCPM) provides applied OHS research to the construction and property industries. We have a number of researchers who are able to work with organisations to analyse organisational performance and identify opportunities for improvement, develop implement and evaluate innovative solutions, provide in-house specialised training programs and to undertake other research-based consulting activities. Our work addresses real-world issues within an international context.

The School is ideally positioned to provide OHS research and consultancy services in the following areas:

  • Occupational health and safety management process design and evaluation
  • Designing for occupational health and safety
  • Procurement and client-led occupational health
  • Occupational health and safety in facilities management
  • Incident investigation and root cause analysis
  • Work-life balance, health and wellbeing
  • Safety culture/leadership analysis and development
  • IT applications for improving OHS, such as digital (Building Information) modelling, visualisation and the development of web-based OHS decision tools.
