Ask on TelegramWhat does IOSH stand for?
Institution of Occupational Safety and Health — the British institution for occupational safety and health. Founded in 1945, it brings together safety professionals worldwide.

No, it is voluntary international training. International clients and investors often require it from contractor managers. Mandatory training under Uzbek law is taken separately.

IOSH, after the test and the risk assessment project are passed. The course is delivered by a licensed provider — in our case HSE Company and its branch SKS.

The certificate has no expiry date. IOSH recommends refreshing knowledge periodically on the Managing Safely Refresher course.
