🏆🎬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?

🌟 It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week – and it’s time to focus on facts that truly protect neurodivergent workers.

More and more organisations are talking openly about neurodiversity, and that’s something to celebrate. Every day, millions of neurodivergent people bring creativity, innovation and fresh ways of thinking to their workplaces. But the risks they face and the support they need can sometimes look different from their neurotypical colleagues.

📚 Recent research shows real progress:
✔ Senior leaders are making stronger commitments to inclusion
✔ HR teams are better trained and more supportive of flexible working
✔ Awareness is growing through internal campaigns and conversations

But there’s still more work to do. Neurodiversity is still often not considered in the context of health and safety risks. Support can be condition-specific, even though many people have overlapping needs. And workplace adjustments aren’t always reviewed when things change, which can leave people without the support they need.

💡 Want to know what organisations can do better?

🌍 Happy Commonwealth Day!

We’re joining millions across the Commonwealth today to celebrate this year’s theme – ‘Unlocking opportunities together for a prosperous Commonwealth’. It’s a message that feels very close to what we do at IOSH.

For us, prosperity begins with people and with making sure everyone has the chance to work safely, healthily and sustainably. When workplaces are strong, communities thrive.

As we look ahead to CHOGM 2026 in Antigua and Barbuda, we’re proud to be working with partners across the Commonwealth to support safer work, stronger institutions and opportunities that reach every community.

To celebrate Commonwealth Day, IOSH Strategic Engagement Manager Marcel Le Roux will attend a service of celebration at Westminster Abbey in London followed by a special reception hosted by The King and Queen. The events bring together Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers and strategic partners, highlighting shared priorities for cooperation and development.

Here’s to building a prosperous future where everyone can thrive at work. 💙✨

Ten years. One goal. A moment of real pride.

During Chartered Week, Michelle shares her journey to Chartered status, a path that began in 2005 and was achieved in 2015 after a decade of hard work and determination.

Every milestone mattered. From Tech to Graduate, she developed not only as a safety practitioner, but as a professional. Working in Housing and Construction, she was supported by management along the way, reinforcing the importance of growth and progression.

For Michelle, achieving Chartered status was the pinnacle of her IOSH journey. A powerful marker of dedication, resilience and belief in her profession.

Chartered is more than an accreditation. It represents commitment, progress and pride.

What has your journey to Chartered meant to you?
