About us
IOSH Highland and Islands Branch represents over 300 members spread across the Highland mainland, the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland Islands representing a wide variety of industries. Due to the vast area covered by the branch and the travel difficulties for many members trying to attend regular monthly meetings held in Inverness.
The Highlands and Islands Branch collaborates with the other four Scottish branches to run the IOSH Scotland committee. This brings the branches together with the IOSH professional staff, IOSH Council and Board of Trustees, to provide synergy to the work of the branches in promoting IOSH in Scotland and also link in with the Partnership on Health and Safety in Scotland (PHASS) network.
Branch members are encouraged to invite friends and colleagues to the branch meetings. They are also encouraged to circulate details of the branch programme in their place of work.
