Distinguished Professor Lingard leads a program of research in the field of construction occupational health and safety and work-life balance. Her work balances theoretical, applied and translational research and focuses on addressing the practical challenges inherent in improving workers’ health, safety and wellbeing in the construction industry.
She was the recipient of an ARC Future Fellowship in 2009. She currently supervises a number of higher degree by research (HDR) students undertaking research in health and safety and/or work-life balance in the construction industry. She recently completed a five-year international benchmarking study of construction health and safety.
Her research has been funded by government agencies and public and private sector construction organisations, and she has been a chief investigator in five ARC Linkage Projects and one Discovery Project. She was also awarded an inaugural ARC Future Fellowship to deliver a program of research titled “Differentiation not disintegration: Integrating Strategies to Improve Occupational Health and Safety in the Construction Industry”.
In 2007, Distinguished Professor Lingard was an author of The Guide to Best Practice for Safer Construction. This guide documented the first industry-wide agreement on allocating responsibility for occupational health and safety (OHS) in construction projects. The guide won the Engineers Australia National Engineering Excellence award in 2010.
