This is the exactly why we need OHS Professional Registration, in future employers will only have to stipulate a registered grade e.g. Pr. CHS Agent or CMIOSHSA etc.
Besides all this, HIRA and ISO 31000. Been reading a bit lately, and having just done QRA's and Safety cases in Oman, ISO31000, meets only the basic measures, it depends on who is doing the RA and the competency of the person. I need your thoughts on this, as it can become I believe a legal issue, if person A, does a ISO31000 RA, but misses the criteria as dictated by the hazards, person B has the competences. Note that this is in the IOSH SA code of practice, do not do work outside of your competence. Your Thoughts Shane
