Please what is the difference bw a Health & Safety Professional and Health & Safety Practitioner? And who are we as trained, experienced, skilled, and qualified safety persons in the management of Health and safety in workplaces?

I don't think that there is any real difference between individuals who choose to be called one or the other. Both terms are in common use in our profession.

There may be an implication that a "Professional" has achieved a more advanced level of academic success or experience, or reached the higher levels of membership of a Professional body but equally the "Practitioner" may be at an equivalent or higher level.

The term Chartered Safety Practitioner has special status, being reserved for those who are accepted by IOSH for Chartered Membership or Fellowship.

in my point of view an occupational safety and health professional is the person who just holds health and safety qualifications and adopts aoccupational safety and health as a profession and earns his/her livelihood and practitioner is the person who does hold OSH Qualifications,adopts OSH as a profession and continues with his/her professional development in the field of OSH,By obtaining further studies trainings and achieving higher standards with the passage of time

Professional describes someone who has completed the required formal education and training in a profession. Practitioner describes someone who is applying their specific specialist skills and experience in practice of their chosen profession.
Thus one can be a professionally qualified practitioner which is something other than being professionally qualified. I think the term practitioner was chosen to reflect that point. We are in practice after qualifying to the required standards and we are required to maintain CPD to ensure that our practice is currently informed.
I guess that in everyday use it is of little import but it is sometimes fun to indulge in the background of such matters.
Ron , I am sure my GP will smile when I tell him that he is ‘archaic’ :-)

I think the best name for us is Professional practitioners because by looking at the what are required to be a Professional and what Practitioners do, trained, qualified, experienced, and skilled safety person with designations such as CSP, CRSP, OR CMIOSH does the same.

Actually, the name may not be necessarily an issue but it worth giving a thought.
