The Work Health & Safety Foundation (WHS Foundation) is the new brand that emerged from the Industrial Foundation for Accident Prevention (IFAP) in March 2022.

IFAP was founded in 1972 as Western Australia’s only not-for-profit occupational safety and health provider.

For fifty years IFAP served the WA community providing safety and health education and training services.

WHS Foundation is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO #1907) and is evolving to be a broader provider of work health and safety services to Western Australian workplaces including business, industry, government and the not-for-profit sector.
