Standards and regulation
With our Code of conduct we set standards
for our members that help them and serve the public interest. We
review these standards proactively.
From 4 March 2013 we have decided to be much clearer that
members' conduct must be consistent with four core standards
- Integrity, Competence, Respect and Service.
Royal Charter and Byelaws
We offer individual Charters to members who successfully
complete the IPD process. The process of becoming a Chartered
member is laid down in the Royal Charter and Byelaws and we don't
deviate from it. As with all institutions that offer individual
Charters, we've created a process that's fair, transparent and
objective. We don't offer Chartered membership based on a member's
experience alone – the member must first obtain a degree-level
qualification in occupational safety and health.

Chartered.

criteria and definition of our membership categories.
