The Intersociety Forum (ISF) is a coalition of organizations, including ASSP, dedicated to safeguarding worker safety and health and promoting the fact that safety practices create a strategic advantage that powers enduring business success while fostering innovation and protecting workers.
Despite advancements, workplace injury and fatality rates remain stagnant. By adopting proactive, risk-based safety strategies, businesses can unlock greater productivity, reduce costs and strengthen their global competitiveness. ISF urges today’s business leaders and policymakers to prioritize occupational EHS as a foundation of economic competitiveness. Adopting this approach will position the U.S. as a global leader in safety, innovation and workforce well-being, enabling workers and businesses to thrive.
ISF has identified three key principles that reflect our shared commitment to protecting workers, advancing operational excellence, and promoting a sustainable, thriving workforce. By working together to demonstrate these values and pursue these goals, we can help businesses realize the value of safety as a driver of competitiveness, economic growth and sustained operational success.
By adhering to these fundamental values, which are further described in our "Core Principles," we can “bring life” to workplaces across the nation, fostering a business model of safety and health that empowers workers and strengthens businesses. Embracing safety as a strategic priority will enable businesses to forge a safer, healthier and more prosperous future — one in which both businesses and workers thrive.
