Our Groups

The IOSH Groups bring together members with a shared interest or specialist area. Through their Groups, members can network and exchange information related to their industry sector, as well as helping IOSH to meet its wider aims. There are currently 16 Groups.

What are Groups?

Most of the Groups are sector-specific. Each Group is committed to providing a range of activities to meet the needs of its members, and each is supported by a committee of volunteers who plan these activities and make sure the Groups run smoothly.

Use the links to the left of this page to find out more about a specific group.

Why should I join a Group?

When you join a Group, you'll get:

invitations to regular networking events, seminars and site visits, often at reduced rates
access to a wide range of advice and information for your sector
opportunities to volunteer your skills and knowledge to help others
the chance to contribute to legal consultations that have a direct impact on your industry
opportunities to join campaigns and projects that champion high standards in your industry
help with developing and maintaining your professional status
network opportunities with health and safety professionals in your sector
the latest best practice from collaboration with other organisations.

The Group committee

Each Group's committee is made up of volunteers who have specific skills, expertise and knowledge of the sector. Committee members are appointed from among the Group's membership and from external agencies (such as the Health and Safety Executive). The committee meets periodically to put together and review a plan of activities. Each committee acts as a focal point for members and as a link between IOSH head office and its industrial sector.

If you're interested in joining a Group committee, contact the Groups team or follow the links from the individual Groups' webpages.
