Strong support for branch volunteering

Our network of branches strengthens our relationships with the safety and health industry around the world.

Branches are a chance to meet your fellow professionals, exchange ideas and hear the latest news and opinions. Each branch has an executive committee that organises a programme of events and activities.

The process for applying to join a Branch committee was different this year. It was through co-option rather than election. This change allows us to complete a review that will give committees more flexibility in the future.

There was a positive response with 100 members attending an online drop-in session in January. And, within one hour of launching the application form, we had more than 100 members apply for a branch committee role.

Volunteering opportunities

Volunteering is not just about giving back to the profession and contributing to our vision of a safe and healthy world of work. Our volunteers tell us they:

• progress in  their careers through broadened skills, experience and expertise
• enjoy networking opportunities with fellow professionals
• increase confidence and self-esteem -  they feel valued and enjoy being part of a team.
