Our policy statements articulate our perspectives on critical health, safety, and wellbeing issues. A consistent theme throughout these statements is the need for proactive political and policy leadership.
Regulation:
A robust regulatory framework is essential for ensuring that all workers can thrive, accompanied by a well-equipped and well-funded regulator capable of upholding standards and enforcing regulation.
To safeguard the workers of the future, it’s crucial that regulation and legislation evolve in step with real-world changes, allowing our health and safety regime to adapt to emerging needs, patterns, and risks.
As a global leader, the UK is renowned for its effective, data-driven, and evidence-based interventions, which have led to a significant reduction in workplace fatalities and non-fatal injuries, saving thousands of lives over the course of half a century.
We call on the government to routinely review domestic regulations and legislation to ensure that the workplaces of the future continue to be safer than the workplaces of the past.
