IOSH is seeking companies interested in assessing Initial Professional Development (IPD) Skills Development Portfolios (SDPs).
SDPs need to be submitted on a three-monthly basis, and are designed to provide evidence of a health and safety professional’s practice skills. Once this has been completed, and they have satisfactorily completed a professional peer review, a member can then be approved as a chartered safety and health practitioner, providing they maintain their Continuing Professional Development record.
