How WELL Promotes Workplace Safety, Health, and Confidence from FacilitiesNet The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) created the WELL Health-Safety Rating application and label for buildings. The rating program focuses on 25 features for health and safety in buildings. Organizations can earn this designation by achieving compliance with 15 of the 25.
