Posted By Ray mausolle Can anyone tell me what qualification is required by law to become a competent safety coordinator within a large cooperation? Main responsibilities are carry out risk assessments and generating Local operating procedure to specific working areas within an organisation.

Posted By Jerry Lucey Hi Ray, I would not get too involved in safety job titles as a Safety Co-Ordinator in your organisation might have the same duties as a Safety Manager elsewhere. You would probably get a better idea by disecting the job description and looking at each individual elements and check if their training covers all the elements. I would also check that any qualification obtained is recognised e.g. Grad or Corporate Member of IOSH. or working towards this. You will need to make a judgement on what grade you are seeking based on risks in the workplace and numbers employed etc. I hope this helps.
