About Us
The IOSH Rail Specialist Group has over 1300
Members and brings together IOSH members with a shared interest of
Rail as a specialist area. Through the Rail Specialist Group,
members can network and exchange information related to the Rail
industry sector, as well as helping IOSH to meet its wider aims.
There are currently 16 IOSH industry sector 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.
