RoSPA NI : Occupational Safety : Local Advice
Growing awareness and increased demand means we are now able to offer occupational safety and health training in Northern Ireland. Other occupational safety organisations we link with are:
Our Occupational Safety Department in Birmingham
Approximately 1.6 million work place injuries occur in the UK each year, of which 380, 000 are reportable to the HSE or local authority. With these statistics in mind, RoSPA has identified a number of key issues that need to be addressed regarding workplace safety and improvements in accident prevention. The department works with key players to ensure that information, education, training and publicity resources are available to all. For further information please visit the occupational safety section of this website.
Northern Ireland Safety Group
The primary objective of the NI Safety Group is “to promote the health and safety of all persons at work and to create an awareness of safety in those entering employment”. As well as their own monthly meetings, they organise conferences and exhibitions, school quizzes, educational seminars and their showcase health and safety awards.

They provide training and advice as well as running the Employment Medical Advisory Scheme and their own comprehensive publications scheme.
