Our volunteers
Every year, hundreds of volunteers work
with IOSH staff to support members, share information and promote a
safe, healthy world of work. There are plenty of ways you can get
involved, so why not apply?
Some volunteer roles are allocated through a selection process,
while others depend on you being elected. There's no payment for
the work, but reasonable expenses are paid. If you're doing
continuing professional development (CPD), you should think about
including your volunteer work in your CPD plan.
