Brltish Safety Council Chair and Chief Executive's Report For the year ende(J 31 December 2020 CHAIR AIID CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT Al the end of 2019. one of our core tsu5es *as on 8xrt and the chalknges that might throw up. We cannot pretend that a global pandemic was high our list of con¢ems. Instead we were detemined Ihal in 2020 we would ensure workers. rights were protected, however Brexit came about whoever was in government. We also wante(J lo bling to life a long-held ambibon to develop a rtew approach to delivering workplace wdlbeing. But how to svm up 2020? Impossible of course, however, a few things Stand out. Before getting to that, rt is worth pau51ng to rèllect on the state ol'health ant1 safety. in the lead up to 2020. It Is easy to forget but the pievious decade was marked by qurte extreme attacks on the 'value' of health and safety. Thè decade was not a good one for the public image of health and safety nor for the re9ulator, with re50ur¢es cut and health Indicalors going the wron9 way. Yet in temis of public opirwon there was a shrft in 2020. A shift to ¥ grtaler consensus around Ihe value ol health and safety, wder than 115 occupab.onal dimension that indudes public safety, wellbeing and mental health. This represents the cros5in9 of a Certain knnd of Rubicon away from the divisive rhetor of thè premous decade. Everyone now understands that an econorny needs heatthy people. People now see the interconnections bets¥een how we work and otlr health in ways unimagined before 2020. Our digital tools mean Ihat many of us can work from home, putbng flexibility into the hours we woth. ducing our Impact on the environment, clawng back some of the commLrte tsme for liwng. For those who have continued lo 99 to their workpl¥Ge. pioviding essents.al service5. they will never denigrate good health and safety or not see the importance of good mental wellbeing. Their Work 15 100 important. Thebr lives matter too much. PeOe will want to hold onlo many of these new developments ITr the lulLtre for their own wellbeing. AItIKJU9h we didn't manage to spend much time on anned Campaigning activities like trbe impact ol air pollutson on outdoor workers. we saw an immensely pOtIVe impact from our membership and charitable wod¢ in 2020, particularfy from our Cov119 charilable and campaigning work. Over 10,000 people, for example, took advantage of Ihe free mental heahh training we offered. Sector Interest Group ISIGI meetings like our Retail SIG ffloved from quartedy to weekly for periods of the year. We a150 achieved record leve15 of press coverage and impact around the worfd on areas like the {subsequenlly postponed) Olympics, retuming to work and schools reopening. During the year. British Safety Council exlensively lobbied the Govemment to strengthen COVIO-19 guidance, and for the Government's safely regulator. the Heath and Safety Executive to enforce the rules. In reathng to the pandemic. one area we made huge sthdes in during 2020, was our digital capabilities. We have invested signthcantly in our digltal leaming capatv'lrties over the last lew years and many members and customers have been able to benefit from this During 2020. we weie one of the first health and Safety organisations lo launch Live Online trainin9. This proved tts be Immensely popular with organisatsons and enabled aspiring heth and safety prolesyonals to conbnue their education. Although many members and ¢ustomers were initi.ally forced to pull back on audit and consultancy work, through our development of remote services, we ended the year with gnificant numbers embracing this new approach to health, safety and wellbeing. A5 organisations Started wnsidering going back to work, we launched our unique COVID Assurance Assessment SeNce in 2020. %thich prowded organisations wih the comfort they needed aTrJ wanted to safeguard Iheir stsff. This was a huge success around Ihe TrIr1d, as many members and customers looked to benefit from ouf expertise. The is no ijoubt that mY thousands of workers will have gone home safe as a result of thi5 work. Alongside the many posrtives saw in 2020. there were also some real challenges too. The most challenging and sad period was having to say goodbye to staff as we 'right-s¢ed' the organisation to ex)pe with the pandemic. However. we are immensdy proud ofthe dedication and work ethic of all

We are ultimately a people busines5 and we can only deliver the service that we do through the Commttsnent of oui people. During the year, Males in Mind continued lo address Ihe psng challenge of mental illthealth within the construction sector and beyond. The global pandemic added to the exi5b.ng mental health challenges faced by those who remained at work. were working remotely. fvrtoughed and those lthOU1 work. The need for Mates In Mind support was never clearer. supported by the volume of inbound contact for advice, guidance and assistan that doubled acros5 the year. However. we also saw a steep decline in donations as organisations focused on dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. Oespite this. through 2020 Mates in Mind empowered 135 new Supporters in lackling the issue and embedded positwe steps towards creating rnentalty heathy wtrrkplaces and rèached more than 92,000 new workers with advice, training and support- bringing their lotsl number of Supporter ¢yganisats"ons to 480, a¢hIng more than 350.000 workers. We have all had cause to flect on how we can rebuild our Society in the recovery that is following the coronavirus outbreak. and how we musl work together to tackle the undertying injustices in our society. No one could fail to feel the impact of Ihe distressing murdeT of George 0y(j in Minneapolis al the end of May 2020 and the global response it provoked. We at the Bnb'sh Safety CoL*nryl pledged to renew our efforts to Ènsure that iniustitt for ethryc and minority groups 15 a thing ofthe past. We are hopeful that a renewet1 focus on employee wellbeing can be another legacy of the pandemic. When we were lobbying Ihe polibcal parh'es ahead of the general election. we made clear that parity f¢y mental health an¢J physical health should be all of our am.On$. For an orgarisation like British Safety Council, steeped in health and safety. protethng workers and mIndIng employers of their duty of care. expanding that remit to indude mentsl health and wellbeing has been a natural evolub"on. Aligned with ihis, the launch during 2020 of our new Being Wdl Together pro9ramme was one of the most important devel¢)pments in our Gent hi$tory. For 2021, our wish is that the gains buili up in 2020 are picked up by business leaders and spread far and Mde. They have a historic opportunrty to bring Out light from last year's darkness. bul il will need nurturing. There will be lorces to contend wth that want to take us back lo business as usual. We need leadership to build on this momentous year lor the better, making sure Ihat economies work for the natural identity of all our interests.

British Safety Council Report of the Trustees Iconlinued) For the year ended 31 December 2020 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 3.1. Financial perfor7nance The charity Trustees measure the finanal perfornance ofthe group against a budget sel by them lor the year. The main performance indicators are total in¢ome and net income for the year compared with Ihe corresptsnding budgeteil amounts. During 2020. the group's total income for Ihe year of £7.266.704 fell short of the budgel of £10,338,469 by £3.071.765. Similarly, Ihe group's net expendrture Ibefoie 9ainwlosses on investment assets and actuarial losses on defined benefit pension) of £851,656 was rrore than the budgeted net expenditure of £34,021 by £817,635.

We also used the Coronavirus Job Retenbon Scheme to as51$1 In mitigatin9 Ihe business impacts of COVID-19 and we have emerged into 2021 as leaner but resilient. 3.2. Promoting th¢ importan¢0 of health and safety The British Safety Council continues to en9age wth a rary of stakeholders. induding Govemment, regulators, politicians, business, Irade and proftson8tr bodies. academic and research organisations and charities. both in the United Kingdom and Intematonalty, to promote sensible and proportionate regulatson and rnanagemenl ol workplace health. safety and wellbeing. as well as environmental prtstethon. 3.2.1 COVID-19 An important aspect of this work is ¢ampaigning and during 2020 much of our policy and camp3KJning activity focvsed on the COVID-19 situation. The pace ol developments in thi5 unprecedented area meant keepin9 ahead was difficult. HowVer. we quickly clarified positionings, which then fed into our communications e.g. Otympics. 2 metre rule, face coverings, school & university safety and retum lo work. This was in no small part down to the tremendous work of the Policy & Inlluencing team, who spent significant b.rne l¢stening to Westminsier di5Gussions and announcements. as well as lia15ing with our Sector Interest Group mernber$ and taknng advice from extemal advisers. From a standing stsrt our COVID-19 aCtivitS quIcY developed into a fully formed lactical campaign. Free mental health digilal leaming courses were one of the maj(y su¢¢essts of our campaign and aligned with ovr charitable purpose. We identified early on. the effect that COVID-19 and lockdowns were having on peoples, mental health. We then lease£l five free mental heatth digital leaming course5 during the first lockdown and over 10.000 people look advantsge ofthis. Webinars fomed a key part of our COVID.19 3ctivib"es. as we attempted as quickly as possible to help. advise and aSst members and customers wth their many questions and concems. The COVID-19 Return lo Work Guidelines webinars and COVID-19 Assurance Assessment Service webinar5 achieved record registrahon numbers of over 700 people. Sector Interest Group ISIGI meetings have aKvays been an important source of nefv40rking and information sharing for members. but none more so than during 2020. Tradib"i)nalty SIG meetings happen 24 tirnes a year depending on the sector. During 2020. some groups like the Retail SIG met for a number of months on a weekty and Ihen bi-weekly basis. to share knoedge and experiences. This ultimately. helped to shape a lol of what consumers then saw in term5 01 prevention and controls. Aligning vnth the UK govemment COVID se¢U guida, Brrtish Safety Countyl developed a detailed general Return to Work Guide and linked Assurance Assessment Serwce.

As part ol our public affairs wwk. we additionalty de¥ehJped a cirt down promolwal leafflet to support these seM¢es and promoted it to ¥1 UK MPS. 3.2.2 M"r pollution Due to COVID-19, during 2020 large part5 of our acb.vity on the Time to Breathe campaign were postponed. The major disruptive 51unt we had planned for oober in Manchester aimed at driving investment In the air plub"¢n m¢)nrtoring infrastructure was put on hold unts"12021. Despite Ihe lack ol stunt. campaign momenlum buitt up during 2019 ¢ontit)uèd into 2020. We skn'll received many requests from workers asking for access to tsur uniquè Canairy air pofiution monitoring app. Canairy usage data also conlinued lo build and wll prowde a valuable source ol Infomation as we rdaunch activities in 2021. In totsl. we now have over SOO supporter organisations and 1,800 gi51ered Canairy users. We also saw some positive movements from the UK Govemment around ah"gnment World Heatth Organisation's {WHOI targets. In December 2020, we welcomed aft announcement by the Prone Minister that the UK 11 aim to cul its carbon emisonS by at least 68% of vknat they were in 1990, by the end of 2030. However. we also highlighted in the pre5S that the Government's target will only be met if it is underpinned by tangible actions to deliver its arnbition. Suth athons include the Govemmenl adoptirig the W740 air pollutson targets. alkjwng electn"t onty cars in ¢ities from 2030 and improvin9 air quality measurement acr05S the UK. We also pointed out thai there 15 an earty tspptsrtunity for the Govemment to put Its words inlo acb.on by adoptsng the WHO air pollub.on targets as part of the Environment 8111 cUn¥ progressing throu9h Parliament. The Heathrow third runway was a key ali pollulion topic during 2020. The Supreme Court reversed a decision to block plans for a third njnway at the airport. which meant that developers could then seek planning permis%on for the project. The Bnbsh Safety Counal called on Heathrow Airport to provide concrete assurances that the expansion would not breach arxeplable levels of noise and air pollub"on, nd that it is compatible wth the UK'S climate policy. This meant the adililion of a new runway would not coniravene the Govemment's ambition to cut its cart)on emissions by at least 68% ofwhat they were in 1990 by the end of 2030, as well as delivei the Government's Net Zero target by 2050. The other major development aligned wtth our tampaign lated to Ihe heart-breaking case involwng the inquest of Ella Kissi-Debrah. In a ground-breaking ruling, the coroner found Ihat Ella 'ss1-Debrah's death in February 2013 was caused by acLrte resratOry tsilure, severe asthma and air pollution exposure. S¢uthvAfk Coronerfs Ctyjrt found that air pollution made a matenal contribution to EILa's dèath and ruled rn favour of her family. This wa5 a legal first. The ruling highlighted the dangets of everyday exposure lo unhealthy levels of PC*llution in lowns and aties across the UK. particularly for outdoor workers and children. Follown9 the announcement and continuin9 our support for Kissi's mother. British Safety Council called on Ihe UK govemment once more to enshrine in UK law the WHO Even though we were limited in how much activity we could physicany put in place during the year, we took the time to Start thinking more about our campaign roadmap and ultimate goals for Time to Breathe. Mirroring actiwtres across our other major campaign work. we started to embed Theory of Change modellir¥J into our thinking. Thi5 will prove valuable in future when plannin9 activities and reporting our progress against target t¢oMeS. 3.2.3 Wellbeing Our founder James Tye was trLly ahead of hi5 bme when il cgrnes to the importanre of workplace wellbeing.

Bribsh Safety Council had produced various papers, videos and p05.0n1ngs around wellbeing. We had spent 2019 planning for a campaign around pSentee1$M in 2020. In fact, we partnered wjlh Vitslity Health and Rand Europe on a presenteeism research projecl aligned with Ihe 8rilain's Healthiest Workplace initiative. However, as COVID-19 took hold, it became clear that a broader campaign was needed around wellbeing. of which presenteeism would form part. We also needed to align our commercial seryices and ¢ampaigning actiwties on the subject. the result was Being Well Together (B1.

We engaged members to obtain thw"r feedba¢k before we produced a final response in October on their behaw.
