Welcome
Welcome to the Manchester and North
West Districts Branch.
As the local branch of IOSH, we promote occupational safety
and wellbeing in our area for the benefit of all.
Here you'll find information specific to the North West,
including details of events and meetings planned for the
coming year and where we meet.
Whatever your interest in safety, health or environmental
management, you'll find a wide range of meetings, seminars and
workshops at a location close to you, even though our area is about
200 miles long.
All our events provide the opportunity for discussion,
networking and keeping up to date with developments and
best practice. Meetings are free of charge but some seminars may
have a small charge to cover costs. Whatever your area of
specialisation, there will be topics of interest for you. In a
typical year we hold about 60 events.
If you need help with your professional development, then
we're here to help. If there's something you want that isn't
being offered, just ask for it, as there is a good chance that
someone else is thinking the same.
The Branch Plan sets out the branch's organisation and
arrangements. The Branch and District Committees will
build on the plan, continuing to provide professional development
opportunities for members and non-members alike. Wherever we can we
will use advances in technology to improve communications with
those who cannot meet face to face.
However you choose to engage with us, remember that it's your
branch and it's there to help you to improve occupational safety
and health. There are many opportunities for you if you'd
like to get more involved in the Branch and its
activities.
Finally, if you can’t make it to a meeting, minutes and
presentations can be found in the documents section of this
site.

LATEST NEWS!
"Due to the adverse weather conditions the Branch has decided to cancel the
meeting at Monton House on Tuesday 12th January at 7pm.
Meetings will resume, as normal, in February. We hope that this does
not cause too much disappointment." Best regards, Des Riley, Chair.
