Thomas Ashton Institute 

Expert insights on risk, safety and regulation — for a safer working world.

The Thomas Ashton Institute for Risk and Regulatory Research brings together the Health and Safety Executive and The University of Manchester to address pressing challenges in health, safety and risk.

Through research, learning and regulatory insight, we share expert perspectives that help shape policy, advance research and improve lives.

Our channel features lectures, seminars, research showcases and expert discussions on workplace health and safety, risk, regulation, resilience, building safety, occupational health and emerging challenges.

We work across regulation, academia, policy and practice to ensure evidence translates into action and supports safer, healthier workplaces and societies.
