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 17 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.
Why should I join the Rail Specialist
Group?
When you join the Rail Specialist Group,
you'll get:
- invitations to regular networking events, seminars and
site visits, often at reduced rates
- access to a wide range of advice and information for your

direct impact on your industry

champion high standards in your industry
- help with developing and maintaining your professional
status
- network opportunities with health and safety professionals in
your sector
- the latest best practice from collaboration with other
organisations.
The Rail Group committee
The Rail Group's committee is made up of
volunteers who have specific skills, expertise and knowledge of the
sector. Committee members are appointed from among the Group's
membership and from external agencies (such as the Office of Rail
Regulators). The Committee meets periodically to put together and
review a plan of activities. Each committee acts as a focal point
for members and as a link between IOSH head office and its
industrial sector. We are always keen to hear from IOSH members
wishing to join the Specialist Group, so please use the links
provided on the right-hand side of this page to contact the
Committee. We will assist you with any questions you may
have.
If you're interested in joining the Rail
Specialist Group or our committee, send us an email using the links
on the left hand side of this page. If you are coming along to one
of our events, why not speak with a Rail Committee Member and
discuss your interest in person.
We hope to hear from you soon.
