Barbour information service for members

15 August 2011

A new online information service, exclusive to IOSH members, will be introduced this month.

The Institution signed an agreement with UBM, it announced today, that will see its 39,000-plus members receive complimentary access to packages of information resources and tools.

Barbour EHS, part of UBM plc division UBM Live, will send the packs directly to their inboxes, with features including directors’ briefings, checklists for enforcement officers and employee factsheets. 

Suitably experienced IOSH members will also get the chance to develop an additional income stream through contributing content to Barbour’s ever-expanding library of documents and resources. And all members will benefit from the collaboration between IOSH and Barbour EHS that will enable the Institution to further invest in services for its membership.

IOSH executive director of commercial Caroline Holden said: “The agreement, I am pleased to say, is now signed between ourselves and United Business Media (UBM), so it’s now full steam ahead in terms of implementing the service for members.
“The service itself will be sent out on a quarterly basis and it’s going to be themed on different health and safety subject areas.”

Slips, trips and falls will be the first subject area for the members’ first package, arriving soon.
