Welcome

Welcome to the IOSH webpages for the Chiltern Branch.

Autumn 2011 update – IOSH Chiltern Branch

CHANGES TO THE PROGRAMME

Unfortunately, we have had to make a few changes to our original programme - please note as follows:

October

We're cancelling the morning session of our October meeting owing to speaker availability. Please accept our sincerest apologies. All payments for this event will be refunded. The afternoon session starting at 14:00 will go ahead as planned with a presentation provided by John Stevens.

November

Due to speaker availability , our November programme  will now cover Mental Health and the Workplace. Nigel Pike who is a Registered Mental Nurse, Safety Practitioner and IOSH Chiltern Branch Committee Member will provide us with an insight into how we, as safety professionals, can help businesses tackle mental health issues.

In addition  to this, at our November meeting we have invited Jeoff Colls from Dacorum Borough Council to come along and speak to the membership about how we as a branch can support local charities. The aim of this , is to provide a "stepping stone" towards our May event.

In the May meeting our aim is to support our local community as part of our outgoing Presidents campaign to get involved in local projects so get your volunteering hat on!

January

January 2012  will see our  ever popular Construction Seminar. Due to its popularity we have been been overwhelmed by offers of speakers , with that in mind - we are still finalising the programme – We are hoping to provide further details at our 20th October event and of course will be publishing details on the Chiltern Branch website soon after.

The remainder of our planned programme is as follows:

• 16th Feb 12 Behavioural Safety Presentation Sarah Cudmore
• 15th Mar 12 CPD/IPD Development Day Amanda Curtis
• 19th Apr 12 AGM
• 17th May 12 Branch Charity Event

I encourage you to come along to the meetings. Our guest speakers are all experts in their area of specialisation and are keen to share their knowledge. The meetings give you the opportunity to network and collect CPD points.

Please keep watching the web pages and connect for more details.

Finally, enjoy the change of season and I look forward to meeting you at one of our branch meetings.

Yours truly,

Peter
