Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Topic Methodology

Thank you for taking part in the public consultation for the Exposure Draft of the Occupational Health and Safety Topic Methodology.

The development of the Methodology is governed by the Valuation Technical & Practitioner Committee (VTPC), an independent committee established by IFVI to direct, validate, and approve research and methodology produced by the cooperation of IFVI and VBA. As detailed in the Due Process Protocol, formal methodology statements undergo public exposure prior to final approval by the VTPC.

The VTPC invites feedback on the proposals in the Exposure Draft, particularly on the questions set out in this survey. Feedback from stakeholders will be incorporated impartially. Comments are most helpful if they:

a) address the questions as stated;
b) specify the paragraph(s) to which they relate;
c) contain a clear rationale;
d) identify any wording in the proposals that is ambiguous in its interpretation; and
e) include alternative proposals the VTPC should consider, if applicable.

In providing comments, not all questions need to be addressed. When addressing a question, please provide sufficient detail and context for the comment. Comments should also be included when there is strong support for the proposal in the Exposure Draft. The VTPC is requesting comments only on matters addressed in the OHS Exposure Draft.

Please note that survey responses are a matter of public record and will be published on the IFVI website. Feedback can be submitted until December 7, 2024.

The questions are in reference to the Exposure Draft, which can be found here.

If you have any questions or queries regarding providing feedback via questionnaire or the public consultation period, please email research@ifvi.org.
