Posted By Danny Berridge I am currently working as a HSO for a large automotive supplier but my package is felt to be a little lacking (I know, same old story!). However, my personal circumstances - at least for the immediate future - make me very reluctant to seek alternative employment but I really do need to boost my income somehow, has anyone got any suggestions please? I realise that there may be a lot of professionals looking for what might be considered a ‘bit of work on the side’ but is there anything realistic available? Incidentally, I have a HSEM Diploma with about 5 years experience of H & S and have tried registering with a couple of agencies but so far, this has not proved fruitful. Any advice would be appreciated

Posted By Paul Oliver Distance learning tutoring is also another you could pursue. some colleges provide H&S courses as distance taught with tutors marking assignmments and test papers. contact your local colleges and ask.

Posted By Descarte Noise and lighting assessments normally require out of hours work which could be away from your normal job hours. Courses are easy and the cost for a one off assessment say £1000 - 1500 would cover the cost of equipment. I would stay away from occupational hygiene and monitoring as this would preferably require certification or be able to demonstrate techniques and accuracy with specially calibrated equipment. Bet there will be a fair bit of work around at the moment in the role of noise assessing / survey / dosimetry
