Midland Branch
Programme
June – December 2016
Welcome to the 2016 Midland Branch
programme for June to December. Over
the coming months, there will be plenty of
opportunities for you to attend free meetings to
hear interesting speakers present on a variety of
occupational safety and health topics.
Unless otherwise stated, Branch meetings take
place at Hollyfields Centre Club Ltd, Woodacre
Road, Erdington, Birmingham, B24 0JT.
Our volunteers are always happy to help with any
queries and support you with your Initial Professional
Development, Continuing Professional Development and
Skills Development Portfolio, as you progress through the
IOSH membership grades, maintain your competency,
and make use of the new self assessment tool.
For more information please email:
[email protected]
Attendance at meetings gives you valuable
opportunities to network and share experiences with
other members. Meetings are also open to nonmembers, many of whom later join IOSH.
Please keep an eye out for the regular IOSH
committee mailers for any changes or additions to the
programme, including any extra chargeable events.
In 2016, we bid farewell to the Midland Branch’s
North, South and East Districts, as IOSH now believes
they have developed to the point where they deserve
to be branches in their own right. We wish them well
for the future. As a member of the Midland Branch
and its former Districts, you’re entitled to attend any
free meetings across the IOSH network, no matter
where you’re based. So please use every opportunity
to support the network and add to your CPD.
If you’re visiting us for the first time, come and say
hello to a committee member, who will make you feel
at home. We look forward to seeing you this year.
