A TIME TO REFLECT

After introducing the new format for IOSH magazine last issue, we now follow with a special edition – but one whose focus has changed as we've written it. At a time of international concern and challenge, IOSH’s 75th birthday milestone is a reminder of the huge efforts our members today and their predecessors have put into keeping our working world as safe and healthy as possible.

This packed edition reflects on the past, marks the present and heralds how we’re preparing for the future, whatever that may hold. It’s a story showing how IOSH has grown from humble, almost casual beginnings into the largest membership body in our space with the widest global influence in the world.

Professor Dr Andrew Sharman, IOSH president
