IOSH
Institution of Occupational Safety and Health
We exist to make work safer and healthier around the world
Our vision
We’re the voice of the occupational health and safety profession. We support our members in delivering our simple vision of a safe and healthy world of work.
Read the ‘small print’
Job ads highlight perks, but there can be unfavourable conditions hidden in the ‘small print’ of contracts. These may pose risks to people’s health and safety. Our new campaign highlights six actions needed for safe and healthy workplace cultures. Help us to get the UK working free from small print.
Future of work
What will tomorrow’s workplace look like? What are the risks and opportunities? Our new report explores the possible ‘what if’ scenarios that will impact the health, safety and wellbeing of all workers. But we can’t wait for the future to unfold – we’re calling on you to take action today.
