The fall that changed everything

Abbi Taylor was just three when her dad fell while working at height. The accident left him in a wheelchair – and changed their family’s life forever.

Growing up, Abbi didn’t know her dad before the fall. The wheelchair was normal. But the emotional weight he carried wasn’t. They didn’t talk about trauma or mental health. She just knew to stay quiet, to not add to his burden.

As she got older, the silence became harder. Their relationship strained. At 15, she moved out. Years later, her dad began to open up, he started healing, and so did she.

Abbi shares her story to remind us that safety isn’t just about rules – it’s about people, families, and futures.

Watch Abbi’s video and find out how you can play a part in keeping people safe when working at height via our Don’t fall silent campaign: https://bit.ly/48ge68w

This International Men’s Day, it’s important we shine a light on something that often goes unspoken, men’s health.

Men continue to face higher risks of su***de, injury, and workplace illness, yet many still feel unable to reach out for support. That silence doesn’t just affect individuals, it impacts families, friends, workplaces, and entire communities.

Today is a reminder of why open conversations matter. When we encourage men to seek help and create spaces where vulnerability is welcomed, we build healthier, stronger communities and workplaces for everyone.

So, here’s a question for all of us, what more can we do to better support men’s health in our workplaces and communities?
Let’s open the conversation.

From steel fabrication to timber manufacturing, organisations are embedding health and safety into their culture with support from IOSH.

At Adey Steel, the IOSH model of safety helped shift the focus from compliance to behavioural change – leading to fewer injuries, more near-miss reporting, and stronger accountability.

At Forest Garden, IOSH training empowered staff at all levels – from the shop floor to the CEO – to take ownership of safety. This resulted in near-miss reporting up 415%, a reduction in serious accidents, and safety is now seen as everyone’s responsibility.

As we wrap up Get the Nation Learning Week, we encourage you to explore how IOSH training can give your workforce the practical tools to build a safer, stronger workplace.
