Competencies

The key to working across different cultures lies in the softer skills of the IOSH competency framework.

Vanessa Harwood-Whitcher became chief executive of IOSH on 1 August. She spoke to IOSH magazine about her plans and priorities to take IOSH forward.

Employers need to place greater onus on competencies linked to empathy and compassion when recruiting line managers so they can manage staff more effectively, according to a new report from Business in the Community (BITC).

Chartered Member James Carter explains how the IOSH competency framework has helped him navigate the fast-paced world of retail safety during the pandemic.

While it seems the worst of the pandemic is thankfully behind us, the looming shadow of Covid19 continues to challenge employers.

IOSH has been asked to take on the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register Ltd (OSHCR) as one of its companies and help make it a more widely recognised source of competent, independent and proportionate OSH advice.

Quality, safety, health and environment officer Daniel Dyball TechIOSH explains how the competency framework led him through the double challenge of starting a new job during a pandemic.

An international career spanning five decades has allowed Malcolm McIntyre CFIOSH, IOSH Balkans representative and formerly global health and safety audit manager at Bovis Lend Lease, countless insights into effective OSH management.

Then we’ll begin… Storytelling is a powerful tool for businesses, especially in health and safety. How can professionals use it wisely?
