British Safety Council


The British Safety Council, a registered charity founded by James Tye in 1957, is one of the world's leading health and safety organisations alongside the likes of Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and International Institute of Risk & Safety Management. Unlike these the council's members are mostly companies. Safety practitioners the world over use the services and training they provide. The London-based charity provides training in over 50 countries.
The British Safety Council is also a partner in the development of the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register scheme, a centrally held register of registered health and safety consultants within the United Kingdom.

The British Safety Council as a government awarding body

The British Safety Council is a government-regulated awarding body and, as such, must comply with a wide range of conditions set by the regulator so that rigour and consistency in the awarding of qualifications is maintained.
They are also the only UK awarding body to offer a complete suite of health and safety qualifications from Entry Level to Level 6 in the national framework.
