About us

We have over 2,300 members, and our main focus is on professionals who work in isolated or remote locations.

The IOSH Rural Industries Group covers agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fisheries, conservation, equine activities, rural estate management and other businesses that get their income from the rural economy.

• Has compiled an advisory panel of members to offer a readily available pool of knowledge for members to access
• Works closely with other branches and groups, particularly the Ireland Branches Rural Industries Section.
