Together, they’ll share insights on global competence frameworks, why consistency matters, and how international recognition can support people, organisations and the OSH profession.

🌍 Today marks the start of Global Asbestos Awareness Week 2026!

This worldwide campaign raises awareness about the dangers of asbestos, promotes prevention, and supports efforts to protect public health.

Organised by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), Global Asbestos Awareness Week is now in its 22nd year. Throughout the week, scientists, health professionals, labour leaders, policymakers and advocates come together to share knowledge, highlight ongoing risks and encourage action to keep people safe.

Asbestos is still present in millions of buildings around the world, and when it’s not managed correctly, it can be extremely dangerous. When fibres are disturbed and breathed in, they can get trapped in the lungs and, over time, lead to serious illnesses including fatal cancers.

At IOSH, we’re proud to support Global Asbestos Awareness Week by sharing guidance and resources that help businesses prevent exposure and protect their workers.

🏆🎬Celebrating film production safety at the National Film and Television School!

We were thrilled to present the IOSH Award for Health and Safety Management in Film Production at this year’s NFTS graduation ceremony.

A huge congratulations to this year’s winners Jeanet Froidurot, Tamera Gatharu and Sorcha Kahn who impressed us with their TV entertainment collaboration Bikini State: Zombie Apocalypse.

Tyrone Partridge, Vice Chair of the IOSH Thames Valley community, attended the ceremony once again to present the award. He shared his praise for the trio: “The winning team demonstrated strong leadership in their approach to health and safety, particularly within the risk assessment process. They adopted a holistic approach and fully embraced risk assessment as an essential part of the entire production.”

Many OSH professionals reach a point where they’re ready to grow but aren’t sure what the next step looks like.

That’s where Gemma Emery found herself on her journey to chartership, until she connected with a mentor through the IOSH mentoring programme. Through honest conversations and practical support, mentoring helped her recognise the confidence she already had.

She now describes mentoring as one of the most valuable parts of her career development.

Mentoring and volunteering as a mentor helps strengthen the OSH profession by creating space for real conversations about growth and development.

What step in your OSH journey would you value support with right now?
