Record training and vulnerable worker support highlighted in British Safety Council’s 2026 Impact Report

The report captures key accomplishments from 2025 and powerful stories about those directly impacted by British Safety Council’s charitable work, its partnerships, and its mission to ensure no one is injured or made ill through their work.

“Driving impact remains at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that the world of work is changing rapidly - shaped by technological, social and environmental forces - but our mission remains constant. By continuing to work collaboratively with our members, partners and supporters, we will ensure that health, safety and wellbeing remain at the forefront of that change. 

“Thank you to everyone who has supported our work over the past year. Together, we are making a real difference - helping to ensure that more people return home from work safe, healthy and well.”
