Hello all,
This is my first post and as someone with NO previous H&S experience I hope you may all be able to help.
I have recently been approached by a sponsor who has said that I should get into the Construction Health & Safety industry and that if I chose to, they would pay for my qualifications.
Now I understand that these qualifications are not something to be collected like Nectar points and my intention is to obtain a definitive answer to my question rather than offend.
So my question is - What qualifications are required in order to become a Construction Health and Safety Adviser? Is there a generic minimum level or does it depend on the area of construction and the level of advice? Ok that's 2 questions but I hope you get my meaning. Thanks in advance. Dan
