Become a member
Join our thriving community of over 50,000 OSH professionals
Our professional membership is recognised worldwide as a sign of excellence in safety and health. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career or an established professional, IOSH membership can give you the support and guidance you need to progress further. It shows that you are part of a profession dedicated to making workplaces safer and healthier for everyone – your employers, colleagues, customers and suppliers.
How much does membership cost?
All new members, apart from those eligible for Student membership, join as Affiliate Members and pay £216 (including a one-off administration fee) for the first year.
Once you’ve joined, we’ll support you to progress to the membership grade which reflects your knowledge, qualifications and experience.
Financial support
In some circumstances, we can provide financial assistance towards membership and assessment fees. And IOSH’s Benevolent Fund may be able to offer financial support to existing or former IOSH members in certain situations.
You can apply for membership using the ‘join now’ button, which takes you to a secure external site managed by IOSH. If you’d prefer to join by post or email, download the membership application form on this page. Want to find out more about membership first? You can request a callback from our customer services team.
Help and reasonable adjustments
We are committed to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in all that we do. To ensure no member or potential member is at a disadvantage, we can make reasonable adjustments to support your application. These can include allowing extra time for membership assessments and providing access to alternative formats.
We consider all requests in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, to ensure equal access to membership assessments and the elimination of unlawful or unfair discrimination, whether direct or indirect.
