2025 Health & Safety Industry Report

Improving the standard

Like many other business functions trying to operate in an uncertain market, environment, health and safety (EHS) professionals are facing an increasing number of challenges in their day-to-day practice.

In this third Health and Safety Report, brought to you by RS and Health & Safety Matters Magazine, we provide a detailed view of what EHS professionals are facing, prioritising and how they’re responding.

There are three main themes within the report:

  • Managing EHS capabilities: a look at confidence and capabilities
  • Business strategy and compliance
  • Risks and priorities for the next 12 months

This report is the result of quantitative and qualitative analysis of more than 545 responses from professionals of every seniority, and offers a definitive snapshot of health and safety across the UK & Ireland.
