Research Interests

Jim is interested most of all in finding ways to help organisations enhance their effectiveness while maintaining or improving employee health and well-being. His research and consultancy has largely focused on investigating the psychological and system factors that influence operational risk, particularly in safety-critical environments.

Jim leads impactful research and knowledge exchange projects that regularly receive recognition in the form of industry awards and commendations. For example, a recent Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project with Amey Consulting and Rail - "SafetySmart" - was rated "Outstanding" by Innovate UK. It was also awarded "Initiative of the year" by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). The project resulted in the development of a novel safety management intervention - the "SafetySmart ThinkSafe Toolkit" which received a prestigious Zuritanken award from Amey’s parent company Ferrovial. Zuritanken is an idea generation programme open to all Ferrovial employees worldwide and aims to promote a culture of innovation to solve challenges faced by the business. ThinkSafe came out on top against a shortlist of six from a total of 364 global entries.
