IOSH

We are the professional body for health and safety, founded in 1945 as a charity and granted our Royal Charter in 2002. We have 50,000 members in 130 countries. We set professional standards and support our members with resources, events, news, and guidance. Our Chartered Membership is a recognized mark of excellence worldwide.

We offer training and qualifications, including Working Safely, Managing Safely, and Leading Safety. These courses are delivered by 1,400 approved providers and reach over 179,000 people each year. We also provide business consultancy to help organizations manage risk and improve health and safety performance.

We engage in public affairs and lobby governments, influencing policy and raising awareness through campaigns on workplace health and safety issues. Recent campaigns have focused on hidden contract terms, supporting workers in emerging economies, and preventing falls from height.

Our vision is a safe and healthy world of work. This vision guides our culture and operations, rooted in four core values:

• One IOSH: We collaborate and align to achieve shared success.
• Flexibility: We embrace change, innovation, and continuous improvement.
• Integrity: We act honestly and professionally to earn trust through respect.
• Excellence: We deliver on our promises and continuously improve our work.

We are a team of 51-200 employees. We foster a supportive, flexible, and inclusive workplace that values wellbeing and encourages everyone to be themselves. We support hybrid and remote working models with flexible hours.

We empower our colleagues through Employee Resource Groups where they can share experiences, influence change, and promote belonging and diversity. Our commitment to employee engagement has earned us “One to Watch” status, and we hold Bronze accreditation for inclusivity. We also partner with organizations like Working Families and the Business Disability Forum to ensure an inclusive environment.
