IOSH passport

Your passport to safety

What is the 'safety passport'?

Delegates who successfully complete our Working safely course can choose between the IOSH certificate or passport card.

The IOSH safety passport is a credit card-sized card outlining your worker's health and safety training. On top of a photo, the robust plastic card includes a number of other security features and an expiry date, to make sure that training is up to date.

Why a passport card?

A card is a quick, practical way of confirming a worker's training credentials. Cards are ideal for contractors or multi-site workers.

The cards can be used:

• to show the standard and level of training
• as an identification card
• as a site card.  
  
  

How the scheme will work for you

Option 1

If you're planning to train more than 250 people a year to the IOSH standard, we can create a card exclusively for your business. We'll design, produce and distribute your passports at no extra cost.

Option 2

If you'll be training fewer than 250 people a year, you can use the standard IOSH passport and order cards when you need them.

We keep records of all the passports we issue for you, and will remind you when cards are due to expire and training needs to be updated.

What our clients say

BT Accenture – a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company

"We put great emphasis on safety and IOSH meets our needs with training that's second to none. When we looked at the different options, IOSH's service appealed to us because it didn't rely on an NVQ process which would have meant a lot more time, money and work. The main benefit to us is the credibility of the IOSH name, and the fact that the passport is fully HSE compliant."

Arqiva – a major broadcast and mobile communications company

"We chose the IOSH passport card as it fitted our needs best. We liked the fact that it was a well known product. The cards make it easier for our workforce to use as proof of identity as well as their training level at different sites. Our staff see the passport as more valuable than a certificate, which can end up just being stored away."
