Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register - OSHCR

 

The aim of this register is to help businesses find advice on managing their general health and safety risks. The register is only open to those health and safety consultants who have met certain standards within their professional bodies.

Part of the Government's review of H&S undertaken by Lord Young was that there should be a register for qualified consultants.
The register is now operational and HSW Ltd are pleased to be part of that register in that as Director of HSW Ltd I am on the register.

So now as David Oates CMIOSH CBiol MSB I can use the following logos with my name.
