Rank: Guest		Posted By J Knight If you try chartered health and safety practitioner you get a different one. Seems that even though we don't get it 'til November we may as well start using it now... (only joking Hazel, I'll be good) John

Rank: Guest		Posted By Jim Walker Anne, Yes we know. What's being done about the impatient ones? I've "googled" 4 in 10 minutes. Also what about use of IOSH logo (old or new) for commercial gain? Off at a tangent.......... roughly how many Chartered practitioners will there be, come November?

Rank: Guest		Posted By Annette Crave Jim Good point about the Logo's, this has been rasied on this forum several times and IOSH do not seem to prepared to take any action against such companies until it is pointed out to them. Surely they should be more proactive seeking out such organisations to protect the name and good standing both its membership and the institution itself. Isn't it about time IOSH stood up to such companies and started taking action????

Rank: Guest		Posted By CarolineBrookes Hi Annette Our logo is a valuable asset to the Institution and we have strict guidelines on its usage - it's also trademarked and protected under copyright law. As you rightly point out, the logo represents the name and good standing of the Institution, so it's very much worth 'guarding'. We regularly take action when organisations mis-use the logo - particularly when it is used to imply a generic or 'umbrella' association with IOSH. Clearly, we can't keep track of every leaflet, brochure, exhibition stand or website out there, which is why we welcome feedback such as your own in helping us to identify mis-use. Caroline Brookes Head of Publishing, IOSH

Rank: Guest		Posted By Merv Newman Caroline, as previously confessed, I use "MIOSH, RSP" on my business cards and Letterhead. I also possess a rubber stamp with "Institution of Occupational Health and Safety" around the outside, MIOSH, RSP, my name and number on the inside. Are you going to slap my wrist, or do you declare this to be acceptable practice ? Really would like an answer concerning official IOSH policy. (I see you use "IOSH" in your e-mail reply, but not MIOSH) Merv

Rank: Guest		Posted By Annette Crave Hi Caroline Its good to hear a positive response from IOSH in this respect and maybe others users of the forum can be encouraged to advise IOSH of such instances. As Merv has pointed out there is a lot of mis-understanding about what is and isn't allowed, maybe you could therefore consider a feature in SHP to help clarify the situation to all of the membership (and other readers/subscribers).

Rank: Guest		Posted By Nick Higginson It's not that difficult is it? When setting up my website, I asked all companies who I intended to link to if they minded me using their logo - some said yes, some said no (including IOSH). By the way, I also said I would be Chartered in November ;)

Rank: Guest		Posted By CarolineBrookes Hi all Thanks for all this feedback. It sounds as though we need to publicise further the guidance available on the use of our logo. A piece in Interface in SHP would be a good idea, as suggested, and I think it would also be worthwhile developing a more prominent area on the website - perhaps including a 'whistleblower' response facility! In the meantime, there's a brief document outlining the policy, which I'm happy to send to anyone on request. Caroline Brookes, Head of Publishing, IOSH

Rank: Guest		Posted By Annette Crave Nick I think the point that is being made is that there are 'far too many' organisations out there with the IOSH logo plastered all over their websites and often their company stationary and advertisements as well. These type of people do not ask IOSH for permission, they just do it, to try and give themselves enhanced credibility and status. So unfortunately, no its not as simple as that, especially when 'honest' organisations may be losing out on work because they are not even being considered by prospective clients to start with!!

Rank: Guest		Posted By Arran Linton - Smith Apparently there is another organisation in Taiwan which is also calling itself IOSH. Yes the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health rather than the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health see http://www.iosh.gov.tw/iosheng/index.htm

Rank: Guest		Posted By J Knight This appears to be a government funded organsiation (as indicated by the email addy); should IOSH sue the Taiwanese government? It is ceratinyl not an attempt to spoof IOSH as we know it, John
