How to use IOSH resources for CPD
Learn and develop in the way that suits you best
Our website resources, guides, research, events, podcasts and much more can all count toward your continuing professional development (CPD). You choose what to learn, when to learn it and how long to spend. This on-demand learning is perfect for busy professionals who want to develop skills on their own terms.
What IOSH resources count as CPD?
Use any relevant activities
You can also use resources from other organisations if they support your professional development. The key is that they help you develop skills in areas you’ve identified for growth.
Any learning that improves your competence as a health and safety professional can count as CPD. This might be through work-based learning, other professional activities and volunteering, formal or self-directed learning.

How to use our resources
We recommend assessing your capability and building a personal development plan first. This helps you focus on resources that address your identified gaps. Then follow these three steps.
-
Learn – watch, listen or read
Choose a resource that matches your development goals. Take notes on the key points and insights. Think actively about what you’re learning.
-
Record in Blueprint
Log your activity as CPD activity in IOSH Blueprint. You’ll need the title, date, duration and a reflection of what you learned. Please note: the CPD hours listed for our resources are a guide as everyone learns at different paces.
-
Apply and reflect
Think about how you’ll apply what you’ve learned. What will you do differently? How will this improve your practice or skills.
