IHMM, ASSP, AIHA, NSC, ISEA, and Others in Coalition for OSHA Funding

IHMM is part of a 25-organization coalition seeking to inform congressional appropriators about the importance of OSHA funding. This is the time of year when Congressional appropriations committees begin deliberating on the FY2025 budget cycle and writing appropriations bills. Given recent actions in Washington, we got together to craft a communication to help them understand the need to adequately fund OSHA.

This letter has been circulating among IHMM’s Board and Government Affairs Committee since last Thursday, with a deadline of Tuesday the 25th for final comments and authorization to sign.

Driving Business Growth and Profitability

IHMM is a member of the Intersociety Forum, made up of organizations dedicated to the EHS professions and to communicating with policy makers about the critically important role that the EHS professionals play in our world.

Modern occupational environmental, health, and safety (EHS) practices are key to driving economic growth. This document, developed by the Intersociety Forum (ISF), a coalition of organizations dedicated to safeguarding worker safety and health, highlights the many ways 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. We urge 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.
