Abstract This report describes the processes, output, and participant evaluations of a scenario-building project completed for the Health and Safety Executive. The scenario process incorporated critical issues of change derived from 28 interviews of HSE policy-makers and outside experts. Participants in a two-day scenario-building workshop chose drivers of change from among these issues, and created a framework defining four different possible futures for safety and health in the United Kingdom in 2017. The scenario process also incorporated the emerging changes identified by horizon scanning as "hot topics" for safety and health.
