GOSHA

We will provide meaningful health & safety at work education, information and CPD activities and initiatives including:

• quarterly talks/dinners
• tutor led basic introduction to health & safety at work
• information to members on HSE initiatives
• site visits – two per year
• promotion of European safety & health week

Good education, information and continuing professional development support will be our principal aim.

We will:

• recognise achievement, particularly the highest qualifications and awards
• grow our membership numbers each year
• be inclusive in our approach

We will communicate with our members and the public through:

• Our website
• Meetings and Events
• A newsletter issued at least every other month
• Our annual dinner/awards event
• Providing information about our work to press and other media

All income will be used only for GOSHA purposes unless the Committee decides that it is to be used for another purpose (such as fundraising for nominated charities).

Our overall aim is to achieve good value for GOSHA and its members.

GOSHA has PR responsibilities, particularly in promoting a professional, well-informed image of health & safety at work and the potential career opportunities which exist.

We will continue to liaise with and maintain good relationships with:

• JOSHA
• IOSH
• islanders in general in Guernsey
• the media and Guernsey based public and professional bodies which work with or have influence on our industry, including the States of Guernsey, Guernsey HSE and educational bodies

We will promote high standards to our members (including professional qualifications and ethical practices).

We will organise social events to bring members together and build rapport within GOSHA.
