HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Activate 2028 – a strategy for everyone

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.




CREATING A SAFER WORLD FOR ALL WORKERS

Activate 2028 is all about action – and the entire occupational safety and
health (OSH) community coming together to deliver a safe and healthy world of
work.

It’s bold. It’s ambitious. It’s about building on what we’ve achieved so far and
progressing our profession. It champions and supports you, our extraordinary
members, and OSH professionals everywhere.


OUR MISSION, VISION AND GOALS

We remain committed to our vision – a safe and healthy world of work. This is
both simple and true to our charitable purpose.

Our mission is threefold:

 * build excellence in our profession
 * drive action from everyone who can influence excellence in global OSH
   standards
 * put people at the heart of social sustainability.

Activate 2028 focuses on the actions and outcomes needed to help us achieve our
vision and mission.


OUR CHARITABLE OBJECTS

These are at the heart of everything we do. We continue to be dedicated to each
one through Activate 2028.

 1. 1
    
    
    CHARITABLE OBJECT 1
    
    To promote systematic and organised methods of improving OSH and to
    advocate, advise on, disseminate, explain and advance the principles,
    methods and systems of their application at work generally.

 2. 2
    
    
    CHARITABLE OBJECT 2
    
    To facilitate the exchange of information and ideas among the members of the
    Institution and of other professional bodies in the field of OSH and to work
    together with other professional bodies in pursuit of mutual objectives.

 3. 3
    
    
    CHARITABLE OBJECT 3
    
    To do all such other things as may be necessary or desirable for maintaining
    and improving the professional status of members of the Institution and of
    people engaged in professions requiring a knowledge of the matters mentioned
    in the first charitable object. 


ACTIVATE 2028 STRATEGY

Read about the steps we’re taking to create better working lives.

 * Activate 2028 strategy document


OUR GOALS

We’ve created four main goals for Activate 2028 to underpin our charitable
objects, deliver our public benefits and help us reach our vision. They are:

 * to be a leading authority in global OSH to maximise influence and impact
 * to develop and recognise the excellence and expertise of OSH professionals to
   improve global standards in OSH
 * to champion the role of OSH in social sustainability to drive business
   success
 * to connect diverse professionals to continually develop the world of health
   and safety.


96 PER CENT OF ORGANISATIONS IN THE G250 REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY, DEMONSTRATING
THE COMMERCIAL AND ETHICAL ROLE OF OSH.


OUR SHARED VALUES

We’ve created a set of values to inspire and unite the OSH profession. 

Act with integrity – we stay true to our beliefs, our dedication to workers’
safety and our commitment to continuously champion workers’ safety and health.

Always be inclusive – we champion a world of work where everyone can be their
authentic self and are utterly committed to protecting the right for everyone to
feel safe and empowered in the world of work.

Together we innovate – we empower organisations to face an ever-changing and
pressurised world through collaboration and communication. We’re committed to
developing successful solutions that are dynamic and innovative.


THREE WAYS TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR OUR VALUES


 1. 1
    
    
    BUILD CAPACITY AND KEEP PACE WITH CHANGE WITH THE HELP OF OUR COMPETENCY
    FRAMEWORK.

 2. 2
    
    
    BENCHMARK YOURSELF AGAINST THE COMPETENCIES BY DOING YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT IN
    BLUEPRINT.

 3. 3
    
    
    UPHOLD THE REPUTATION OF OUR PROFESSION BY TAKING OUR ETHICAL PRACTICE IN
    OSH E-LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT.


WHY ACTIVATE 2028?

This strategy builds on what we have achieved so far and is being delivered at a
time when OSH has never been more important to working lives. 

In 2022, the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopted a safe and healthy
work environment as a fundamental principle and right at work. We’re proud to
have influenced this milestone through the work we do on the global stage and
with the ILO. 

We are focusing on three new key areas to make more of a difference:

 * lead the drive to a more equitable and inclusive world of work
 * shift to a more sustainable and regenerative economy
 * adapt to technological evolution in the workplace.


EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IS A PRIORITY AREA FOR 75 PER CENT OF
ORGANISATIONS WORLDWIDE (PWC 2021).
