IOSH and Barbour collaboration gathers pace

18 July 2011

Since the news release in May there has been much speculation with regard to the member benefits that will be available on completion of the negotiations between IOSH and Barbour.

IOSH executive director (commercial) Caroline Holden said: “Members will get a package of topic-based resources on a quarterly basis, with the first being about slips, trips and falls.

“Only IOSH members will receive the packs, which will be available for three months for members to download, copy, paste or use in their entirety as required.”

Within the agreement it is also expected that members will receive a dedicated email every three months with a link to a resource pack. Within these packs tools will include the likes of a Directors’ briefing – a one-page synopsis on a particular specialist area designed to help you inform your senior management. Other resources are likely to be employee factsheets and Toolbox talks (presentations and hand-outs to support you and your workforce training activities).

Caroline Holden added: “The finite details are currently being discussed between Barbour and IOSH and the final contract is expected to be signed by the end of the month.

“As soon as the contract is signed more details will be available to members via our website and connect – watch this space.”
