The business assurance tool

IOSH’s business assurance tool is an easy-to-use online platform that helps organisations gain and maintain their business assurance certification.

Built on IOSH’s trusted model of safety, it offers a clear and practical way to measure safety maturity and drive continuous improvement. Rather than focusing only on accidents, it tracks leading indicators and cultural factors to give a more complete view of safety performance. 

A user-friendly dashboard shows key data, trends and areas that need attention, helping teams make timely, informed decisions. The tool offers a flexible and cost-effective way to strengthen safety culture without relying on expensive consultants or custom systems.

Each question invites users to upload supporting documentation, ensuring transparency, accountability and a clear audit trail for internal and external reviews.

The tool supports consistent assessment for organisations working over multiple sites and functions. This supports benchmarking, comparative analysis and the identification of best practices across the business[.

Developed by experienced safety practitioners, the tool reflects real-world challenges and priorities. It speaks the language of safety professionals while aligning with executive-level expectations.

  1. Gain a clear, evidence-based understanding your organisation’s level of safety maturity.

  2. Identify areas for development and create action plans for a more mature and resilient safety culture.

  3. Win greater buy-in and support from senior leaders and non-safety professionals by presenting safety performance in a meaningful format.

  4. Reassure customers, investors and partners of your commitment to continuous safety improvement and excellence, by leveraging IOSH’s credibility.

The first output

When you complete your self-assessment, you’ll receive your cultural maturity score. It will show you your overall safety status.

Next steps

A number on its own has limited usefulness, though. IOSH can help you to interpret your results, identify areas for improvement and plan your next steps.
