Summary
The One Percent Safer Bursary is a new initiative by global safety leaders to support the growth of risk and safety professionals in five developing or emerging nations in Africa. It aligns with the vision of the One Percent Safer movement, which aims to reduce workplace-related deaths and injuries by 1% annually (28,000 lives worldwide).

The movement is funded through profits from the One Percent Safer book and related products, which contribute to an independently governed charitable foundation. This foundation provides practical support such as grants and professional development for safety and risk practitioners.

As part of the bursary, successful applicants receive a free one-year Affiliate membership to the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management. Membership benefits include:

• IIRSM’s brilliant magazine, The Sentinel
• Regular updates on developments in the world of risk
• Professional development opportunities to boost your career
• Networking opportunities to share, learn and make connections
• An excellent mentoring platform for peer-to-peer learning
• And much, much more
