Western District

The Western District of the IOSH Ireland Branch was established in 2007 and provides a service to IOSH members in counties, Laois, Offaly, Galway, Clare and Limerick. Currently there are 223 members in the Western District of which 74 are in Limerick and 67 in Galway.

What we do

It is an ideal networking opportunity for occupational health and safety professionals in these counties. It provides a forum where Health & Safety/Risk Management can be developed and promoted in all workplaces.

We schedule a number of events for our members on a regular basis throughout the year. In May 2008, we held seminars on GHS system and REACH and in Nov 08 Workplace Transport Safety.  Earlier in 2009 we held seminars on Occupational Health and Radon. All of these have proved very successful. We are increasing the number of seminars offered and look forward to your continued support. Details of upcoming seminars will be updated on this page in due course and in the Diary Dates section of the IOSH Ireland website. 

Aims

Our aims are to provide our members with information which can enhance their knowledge of safety and health in the workplace.
We will strive to increase our membership through networking and to hold seminars for members and non members in the future. Aspiring members are invited to contact any Committee Members for further information.

Committee Meetings

Our Committee Meetings take place on a monthly basis.  Meetings are open to Committee Members only. Members are invited to forward queries, requests and/or suggestions for further discussion to any committee member.
