Resources
Practical tools can make the difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. That’s why we’ve developed a range of resources to assist construction professionals, educators, and students in applying the latest research on health, safety, and wellbeing in the workplace. These materials include straightforward fact sheets on specific hazards, step-by-step guides for creating safety plans, checklists for risk assessments, and templates for incident reporting or consultation procedures. Many of these come from projects tested on real construction sites, so they reflect not just best practice but proven practice. We also offer teaching resources—case studies, lesson guides, and scenario-based exercises—so universities and training providers can equip the next generation of construction managers with current, evidence-based materials. For industry partners, these resources support everything from meeting regulatory requirements to fostering a stronger safety culture across projects. All materials are designed to be accessible, adaptable, and ready for immediate use—whether on a small residential site or a large infrastructure project. By sharing these resources openly, we aim to bridge the gap between research and practice, providing people with the tools they need to make construction safer, healthier, and more sustainable for everyone involved.
