What makes IOSH the best?

Founded in 1945, we're the only Chartered body for health and safety practitioners and the world's largest health and safety professional membership organisation. We were the first European safety body to be awarded non-governmental organisation (NGO) status by the International Labour Organisation.

We grant Chartered status to members who meet our highest standards. And as a Chartered body, we significantly influence the direction of health and safety policy in both the UK and internationally. We're the guardian of professional competence and the 'voice' of common sense in health and safety.

We want to encourage a new generation of health and safety professionals to come forward, who are as passionate about protecting people at work as we are, so apply to join us now.
