Become an accredited Vision Zero trainer
Deliver excellent training using the Vision Zero strategy
The International Social Security Association (ISSA) has partnered with IOSH to ensure its Vision Zero strategy can be implemented by organisations around the world through quality training.
What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is ISSA’s global initiative to eradicate all work-related accidents and illness. The campaign is centred on three core values: safety, health and wellbeing - and it is guided by 7 Golden Rules.
Taking a strong, proactive approach, Vision Zero promotes a modern workplace culture of prevention. Its flexibility means it can be embedded in organisations of any size and industry… and in any country across the world.
Our partnership
ISSA has partnered with IOSH to help deliver its global Vision Zero message. IOSH has been delivering quality training products that have helped promote occupational health and safety since 1945, so this partnership will enable the Vision Zero strategy to be embedded into organisations across the globe meeting the IOSH standard.
The Vision Zero strategy aims to make the world of work a safer place. You can play your part by becoming an accredited Vision Zero trainer and delivering the strategy though training.

IOSH will consider any Vision Zero related training course, in any delivery format and work with you to help your course get approved by IOSH.
We can give you guidance and resources to help turn your raw materials into a structured course. You can download our Training Guidance Book for more information, and read through our Face to Face standards or e-learning standards to see what we’re looking for.
Your training course will be assessed against IOSH standards and, if successful, you will be able to use a dedicated ISSA-IOSH Vision Zero logo, thereby demonstrating the same high standards of quality attributed to our own courses. IOSH can support you to develop any materials that do not meet our standards.
