About me

Research

Focuses on how occupational health and safety is shaped by the interplay between governance, management and organisational culture. An important strand of this work concerns how the division of roles and responsibilities shapes the conditions for occupational health and safety management. More recently, the research has also turned to issues of social sustainability in supply/contracting chains, with a focus on how overarching policies and governance are translated and negotiated in practice between clients and contractors
