Hi,
Can anyone please tell me the difference between a Corporate Health & Safety Advisor and the 'normal' Health & Safety Advisor?
Is there any real difference or is it a play on words?
I have just passed the NEBOSH Cert and have been scouring the job pages and this has come up a few times.
Regards
James

Corporate H&S Advisor often suggests that it's more than a single location. When I was a Corporate H&S Manager, I was responsible for 3 manufacturing sites and "corporate" support, e.g. for the board.
In a multi-site operation, a typical structure can include a corporate H&S advisor and then H&S advisors at each site (although the senior H&S advisor at the head office site can often be considered as the Corporate H&S Advisor).
Hope this helps/Paul

Paul offers one interpretation - an alternative is where there is a split between 'Corporate Safety' - the department that looks after the company's own employees - and 'Consultant Safety' - the outward looking department that works for external clients.
It depends on the business in question...
Best way to find out what it means in a specific case is to read the job description. Sometimes, its just a way of making the post sound more attractive to any potential applicants....

Hello James,
When I read 'Corporate' I recalled the old IOSH membership grades. Previously a 'Corporate' member denoted full membership. Job adverts used to seek 'Corporate members of IOSH'.
Maybe that is what your adverts are referring to, some employers are a little behind the drag curve.
