The science behind safer shared spaces
Everything We Do Is Science Based
“Companies like Safer Shared Spaces are supporting our findings on antimicrobial surface coatings by raising awareness of their benefits to business.”
Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering, Imperial College London.” February, 2021
In March 2021, Safer Shared Spaces agreed a case study partnership with Manchester Met University, Crowd Science Department and Imperial College London to look into products and services that give confidence to those sharing the same spaces and the recommendations put in place by Safer Shared Spaces. This case study will draw on the expertise of the MMU and Imperial College to provide guidance on how crowd safety can be managed and give confidence to those using premises where significant steps have been taken to reduce the risk of infection transmission.
