This is a report of research undertaken in January 2010 by a team from the University of Sheffield, commissioned by the HSE and RIBA, into the teaching of health and safety in undergraduate schools of architecture in the UK. Recommends that institutional health and safety professionals within the university become involved at the project planning stage to advise on managing risk, provide institutional support and enable an increase in the ambition of live projects. It is essential to trust students to manage, and learn how to manage, some risk in the project design and construction.
