If youre working in health and safety, gaining a health and safety

qualification, or you've simply got an interest in this industry, you can join
IOSH. How far you take your qualifications and membership status is
entirely up to you.
What happens when you join us?
You'll join as an Affiliate member. This means that everyone has immediate access to all the
benefits of membership. Moving to another category of membership depends on your
experience, qualifications and, of course, your goals. If you want to work as a health and
safety professional, we'll review your qualifications and experience to find out which
membership category is right for you.

The six membership categories are:

Affiliate Member

Associate Member

Technical Member

Graduate Member

Chartered Member

Chartered Fellow

What qualifications do I need to progress through the membership categories?

With over 35 accredited qualifications on offer, members can choose from a broad range of
courses at various institutions to help them progress through our membership categories.
Have a look at our list of qualifications and institutions that meet the academic
requirements for Technical (Tech IOSH) and Graduate (Grad IOSH) membership, and where
these are available.
Changing membership category
If you've recently completed one of the qualifications we accredit and think you may be able
to change your category of membership, then get in touch with us. If you have a

qualification with an amount of Health and Safety content in it, send in a copy of your
certificate along with the official module transcript and we will assess it to see if eligible for
a different membership level. When assessing your documents for a different membership
category we only look at qualifications as we do not accredit courses. As a guide, we're
looking for health and safety qualifications.
We'll need to review:

copies of relevant health and safety qualification certificates you've recently been
awarded

your current CV, showing what health and safety experience you have.

relevant, please check the list of qualification swe accredit. If you're still not sure, email us
