Hi,
I'm wondering what courses / opportunities are available to any Tech IOSH people at the moment?
I have been looking for sometime now for job opportunities and courses but don't know where to go from here.
I currently work full time at a car manufacture acting as the Deputy Senior H&S Rep for the Trade Union. I have passed my TUC Occupational H&S Course and currently a Tech IOSH member.
I have been on several courses from RA, COSHH, Accident Investigation, Working at Height and many more.
Looking to move on in the world of H&S and better my current position.
Any advice would be well recieved.
Regards,

Unfortunetly Jason if my experience is anything to go by, employers do not seem to put any merits to being a Union Health & Safety representative.
Unless you are in a position "Health & Safety Advisor" you seem to be discarded. I have been employed by a manufacturing company for the last 16 years, the last 3 of these as Health & Safety co-ordinator.
I to have Tech IOSH and have passed the NEBOSH General Certificate along with the TUC Certificate. I have also had the opportunity of becoming an instructor in many Health & Safety topics.
I keep being informed that there are many Health & Safety jobs available but up to this point I still have to find one.
All the best going forward

- The other common problem is that skilled artisans with several, (or many,) years of experience in their own trade move into H&S and the lower end certificate roles do not compete with their skilled job rates of pay
- H&S is a pay to learn process at the lower end of qualification, unfortunately, and I speak from previous experience trying to get my first start in 1999.
