Oshcr - Occupational Safety And Health Consultants Register

OSHCR is the UK's Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register, aiming to assist businesses in finding advice on general health and safety.

OSHCR was established in response to the Government’s Common Sense, Common Safety report, which recommended that all Health and Safety consultants should be accredited to a professional body and that a register of certified professionals be established in the form of a web-based directory. The register aims to assist businesses in finding advice on general health and safety management.
A network of professional bodies and stakeholders worked together in partnership to develop this register, which has established a benchmark standard for safety consultants and helped to raise the quality of advice being given to businesses.

This minimum standard has been set at a degree level qualification, with at least two years experience and active engagement in a continuing professional development scheme.

Businesses can have confidence in choosing a health and safety consultant from the register, as they are bound by their professional body’s code of conduct and are committed to providing sensible and proportionate health and safety advice.

You can search for a consultant by location, industry or topic, to enable you to find someone who will provide specific, tailored advice, relevant to your business needs.
