Posted By John-Mark As a Safety Rep, have you considered the TUC Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety? A year-long course, by day release, gives you a good grounding in H&S law, Environmental aspects and H&S Organisation. Assignment & Project based (no exams), and successful completion will enable you to apply for IOSH membership, albeit at Tech SP level. Contact your Union for details of course provision.
