Would a trainer that delivers on client site classroom based training be expected to join the OHSCR? Any thoughts appreciated.

You can only join the register if you meet the requirements which includes have a certain grade of membership of the specified bodies such as CMIOSH or FIIRSM. Personally I wouldn't expect a trainer to be on the register but would prefer them to hold PTTLS or better. Regards Yul

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Brian. If people are looking for trainers would they use the register and are trainers able to register (as in is there a category for them). Thanks Steve and YulKok, you are quite right and I am glad to see your responses. Fortunatley I am CMIOSH, have competency in the areas I deliver and a PGCE (with QTLS to boot soon I hope when the application is completed). So it was refreshing to see that in engaging trainers you would consider an approriate teaching qualification. One of the main reasons for my post regarded indemnity insurance. It is a requirement to enter the register. In my case my training work load is light (an aside to my full time role) and the type of class room based training I undertake (I don't do forklift, MEWPS, PASMA etc) is not high risk and usually negotiated under the clients own insurance cover. Thanks again, any other comments welcomed.
