Migrant workers
Research is undertaken to help meet HSC/E's business objectives. Research is key in the development and discharge of HSE's strategic plans.
In early 2005 the Working Lives Research Institute, based at London Metropolitan University was contracted to carry out a major research project aimed at assessing the patterns of employment of migrant workers in England and Wales and the main health and safety risks they encountered, in comparison with other workers in similar positions. The Health and Safety Executive commissioned the research.
