Posted By Frank Hallett Louise, In order to ensure that the desired formal H&S qualification stated really is appropriate, you may wish to visit other parts of the IOSH site; and in particular, you may also be interested in the very wide-ranging comments on the topic of demostrable competency in the Chat Forum.

Posted By Paul Bellis Bit worrying the last comment, I wonder if thier solicitors etc are also employed with out fancy letters etc -they could have gained lots of experience without qualifications......NOT. I would agree with previous posts - a General certificate is a grounding in HS, and suitable for practitioners in low risk environments, unless they have access to more qualified advice. I feel another rant comming on -but been down this road before.... Louise I would have been interested in the role - but Hull unfortunately is too far Paul

Posted By Salus Good one TBC, Louise already works for people who know what they want and how to get it.There was a CMIOSH on the discussion forum 2 to 3 weeks ago who wanted to know simple answers to WAH,not a good advert for the chartered route,and competency issue. Even if they did not know the answers they should have known where to get them from. Paul, shame about Hull being to far.
