Campaigns and Policy

British Safety Council is committed to creating a powerful impact and influencing the future of safe, healthy, and thriving workplaces worldwide. Our work spans charitable, social, political, and industrial spheres, combining advocacy, high-impact campaigns, and a strong focus on wellbeing to support every organisation’s journey toward a holistic approach to workplace health.

Through our advocacy, we address critical workplace health and safety issues with influential research, policy recommendations, and collaborative campaigns. These efforts are designed to shape legislative changes, driving positive transformations and encouraging industry best practices that save lives and build resilience.

Our dedication to wellbeing extends beyond safety alone, promoting a culture where employees can thrive mentally, physically, and emotionally. We provide impactful tools, resources, and a comprehensive wellbeing programme, helping organisations develop inclusive strategies that integrate mental health support, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

By combining our advocacy and wellbeing initiatives, we aim to influence change across sectors and empower organisations to build environments where every individual feels valued, supported, and motivated to reach their full potential. Together, our efforts amplify social impact and ensure our influence shapes workplaces for a safer, healthier future.
