1) Are you currently in the employ of a contractor? Does your employer have an HSE Officer / Manager? If so, you might want to consider asking them if you could shadow them in order to get a practical understanding of what it all entails. 2) As you have a construction industry back ground, have you considered doing the NEBOSH Construction Safety and Health Certificate?

get to the north west construction group meetings which take place in Salford - check their web site for dates - you can network there and they are good people who always help if they can
