Posted By Seamus McMenamin Hi Everyone I have worked in the Construction / Telecommunications industry from 1987 to 2000, which involved looking after a team of around 30 site workers, all subcontractors. I was involved in induction training, tool box training and carrying out method statements and risk assessments on a frequent basis. I left in 2000 to help my partner with a commercial cleaning business, I took the business through the process of getting ISO9001 and then through the Safe Contractor Scheme. I was then approached by another cleaning company and sold the business. I am now looking to develop my career in Health & Safety again. Would it be beneficial to obtain an IOSH certificate, and how long does it take and what is the cost? Can you recommend any other courses that are available? Many Thanks email. eugene.mcmenamin@googlemail.com

NEBOSH General Certificate would be a good foundation course to start with. Cost for this will certainly be under £1,000 if you are willing to study in your own time or double that if you want to attend a block course with a recognised provider. These courses are run all over the country. A quick google search will give you more information.
IOSH courses themsleves are fine, but in terms of career progression you need to look at NEBOSH. IOSH courses tend to be more specialist i.e. IOSh Managing Safely, risk assessment, COSHH assessment, etc. NEBOSH is the H&S sphere and syllabus in more detail and is what employers look for when employing people. Ultimately you really need to look at the diploma or higher.
Best of luck
