The IOSH forum will close on 5 January 2026 as the platform has reached the end of its serviceable life and is no longer secure. We want to thank everyone who has contributed to discussions and shared knowledge over the years.

At the end of February 2026, we’ll launch a new IOSH online communities platform to keep conversations thriving, and all members will be invited to join.

In the meantime, please save any content you wish to keep before the forum closes, as past discussions will not be accessible after this date.

You can stay connected with the occupational safety and health community via our LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/3969846/ If you need advice on occupational health and safety, you can contact our experts free of charge on +44 (0)116 257 3199 or email support@technical-helpline.iosh.com

We’ve also published a list of common questions and answers about the forum closure, and you can also get in touch to ask your own question or sign-up for updates.
