Posted By J Knight Hi Won, I think you are asking if Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners in the Uk get any financial assistance from the government or IOSH. The short answer is no, we don't. Equipment which we have to buy for work can be claimed for in our annual tax bills, but that is the same for all workers in all industries, John

Posted By Won Hi John, Thank you for your kind answer. so, is there no assistance to S&H Practitioners? what is it means someone to be a S&H Practitioner, it is just an honour or helpful to someone's career? so stupid question.. I think I expect your WISE answer.. thanks.

Posted By TBC Hi Won If you work for a very good company - they will pay for all your needs. That includes course fees and anything else you need. If you are self-employed, a consultant for example, you will have to pay for everything. Joining the IOSH organisation gives you lots of advantages: This site for example giving support from IOSH and other professionals. Although some seem to disagree at times. Status for personal development. and if you are a consultant - credibility in clients eyes to show that you are taking the job seriously and get the contract. Hope this helps.

Posted By Max Bancroft Hi Won - perhaps we should make it clear that the designation "Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner" can only be used by people who obtained Chartered Membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) or Chartered Fellowship of IOSH (CFIOSH). It isn't a separate designation/indication of competency. Perhaps we should also make it clear that there are no legal requirements in the UK for an Occupational Safety and Health Adviser to be Chartered. The employer/client is required by law to ensure that the person who gives them H&S advice is competent. Someone who is Chartered would certainly be seen to be competent. Hope this is clear. Max

Posted By David Kimmins Won The nearest Korean Equivalent to help you understand the status would be a Professional/Certified Engineer but in Safety. I understand from my people in Korea that the only safety qualification available is a government certificate David
