Hi everybody,
I moved from France to London this last summer and I am looking for an Health safety position in the London area. I have a French graduation (2 years in HSE University) and 6 years experience as HS consultant in areas such as quarries, concrete & recycling units, construction and civil infrastructures. Please let me know if my graduation+experience is valuable in the UK or do I need local qualifications (which one?)
Thanks
Matthieu

Hi Matthieu, there is no legal minimum qualification to work as a general H&S practitioner within UK but a requirement for employers to have access to "competent advice"
This has been the subject of many threads on these forums and I won't attempt to recreate these here. Search for "competency" and you'll find a large number.
So far as UK employment is concerned, you may find that employers are setting minimum entry requirements based on UK qualifications. Very few UK employers will understand what your level of achievenment equates to. Perhaps your best option would be to speak to a couple of the good specialist agencies who should take the time to understand your abilities and construct a CV that will be accepted by potential employers. Your experience should of course spaek for itself.
Good luck.
