Are you passionate about creating a safe and healthy world of work? We want to give you the support and guidance you need at every stage of your career.
IOSH Blueprint helps you build and demonstrate your competence as an occupational safety and health (OSH) professional. It’s an all-in-one package for career and self-development activity, comprising four elements. Step one is to assess your capabilities and develop your professional plan.
We want our members to be the best they can be. Your membership level reflects your experience and ongoing investment in both your career and the wider OSH profession. Our new membership grades structure has more clearly defined entry routes, transparent progression and a new experiential route to membership.
Join our thriving community of over 50,000 OSH professionals. Our membership is recognised worldwide and brings many benefits. It's also an excellent way to support our vision of creating a safer and healthier world for all workers.
Our new video series covers the foundations of good occupational safety and health practise.
Duncan Spencer, our Head of Advice and Practice, guides you through the key concepts in five short chapters.
You'll learn about how understanding competency allows you to make and test reasonable judgements and control risks.
Ethical practice underpins everything we do as OSH professionals. It’s about trust and integrity and doing the right thing even when no-one is watching. Our Ethical Practice in OSH e-learning and assessment provides up-to-date content on ethical considerations.
Our professional qualifications develop and recognise the excellence and expertise of OSH professionals and aim to improve global standards.
