We are the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), the Chartered body for health and safety professionals.

With more than 50,000 members in over 130 countries, we’re an organisation with a global outlook and influence.

Activate 2028

One person dying because of work is a tragedy – 7,500 a day is a travesty. Yet an estimated 2.78 million people still die every year due to work-related illnesses and accidents. We’ve developed Activate 2028 with this figure in mind.
