I am a USA safety officer who conducts a variety of OSHA Train the Trainer courses in the USA and Internationally. I am wondering if this is something that is welcome in the UK? The training discusses many generic issues in safety and health according to US standards. Thus it is a learning experience also. I am familiar with the HSE standards also.
On completion of our OSHA courses you can train others on behalf of OSHA and OSHA issues training cards directly to the participants. All of the support we provide after is free. OSHA does not charge to issue the cards or per participant thereafter.

Carlstein,

while the overall philosophy of OSHA and the HSE is basically the same you might find that there are too many differential nuances between the two systems ("recordable" versus "RIDDOR" for example) and the UK's "3-day rule" intended to reduce the workload of MDs is also quite imaginative.

However, talk to the IOSH training people. You might find work with multinationals who have to work with both systems.

I've been there, done that, and my Tee-shirt is looking a bit shabby.
