"The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has launched a new expert-led commission to examine the future of occupational safety and health (OSH) skills in the UK, amid growing concerns over workforce shortages and rising pressures on safety professionals. Convened in partnership with Speedy Hire, the OSH Skills Commission brings together leading figures from across industry, trade unions and professional bodies to develop practical solutions to skills challenges that threaten workplace safety and productivity."
"The initiative was formally launched at an event in the House of Lords by head commissioner and RoSPA vice president Baroness Crawley of Edgbaston. It will comprise five expert roundtables, each focused on a critical factor shaping OSH outcomes, with findings feeding into a final report of strategic recommendations for government and industry. RoSPA said the commission comes at a pivotal moment, as Skills England and the government's new post-16 skills strategy begin to identify priority areas for workforce development."
RoSPA launched an expert-led OSH Skills Commission in partnership with Speedy Hire to examine the future of occupational safety and health skills in the UK amid workforce shortages and pressures on safety professionals. The initiative was launched at the House of Lords by head commissioner Baroness Crawley of Edgbaston and will comprise five expert roundtables focused on critical factors shaping OSH outcomes. Findings will feed into a final report containing strategic recommendations for government and industry. The commission aims to influence Skills England and the government's post-16 skills strategy by promoting recognition of OSH skills as essential to economic resilience and worker protection. Five core themes will be examined, each chaired by a recognised leader: recruitment (Claudia Jaksh), retention (Rick Bate), consultation and worker representation (Luke Collins), wellbeing, culture and psychological safety (Nick Pahl), and technology in OSH (Kate Field).
