Manchester and North West districts banner

Welcome to the Manchester and North West Districts Branch.

As the Manchester and North West Districts branch of IOSH, we actively promote and support corporate & social responsibility for occupational safety and wellbeing within our branch area.

Health and safety isn't just a job to our members – they're passionate about protecting people, whether that’s employers, employees, the community which we all serve or the environment in which we all have to live.

We believe in a sensible approach to managing health and safety, and environmental issues and that they should be performed according to the highest standards and ethical principles, maintaining respect for human dignity and equality.

Even if you’re not interested in becoming a health and safety professional, there is plenty for you here with us. We believe that everyone has a right to a healthy and safe working environment; we work hard to provide information and help to people, so they can take a sensible and practical approach to health and safety –whatever they do for a living. A big part of what we do is based on delivering knowledge and experience where it's needed through events, meetings and our qualified, experienced members supporting others . We believe we have a unique opportunity to bring about change and improvements at local branch level.

But to make our branch fully credible, we need people from all walks of life who are interested in sensible health and safety. We need them to share in our meetings and discussions, and get involved in our activities. We also need people to share their experiences and knowledge to help us keep an outward focus. There are many opportunities for you if you'd like to get more involved in the Branch and its activities.

Here on our website, you'll find local information specific to the North West, including details of events, meetings and their venues planned for the coming year.

Even if you can’t make it to our meetings, minutes and presentations can be found in the documents section of this website.

Meetings are free of charge but some seminars and events may have a small charge to cover costs. Whatever your area of interest or professional specialisation, there will be something of interest for you.

In the North West, whether you just need help with your professional development, want an opportunity to discuss a problem or network and keep up to date with developments, best practice, then we're the branch for you

Remember we are your branch and we are there for you.
