Why we do what we do
Work-related ill health is the ‘hidden pandemic’ with 99% of all work-related deaths in Great Britain caused by occupational disease – every year.
We believe that prevention really is better than cure and that’s why we’re so passionate about strategically applying occupational hygiene and health to transform workplace culture.
