To the uninitiated (me), what's the difference between the HSE and the IOSH?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a single regulatory body, that everyone within your industry must sign upto/be licensened, as a legal requirement? Or is the HSE a large bumbling govt framework, where the IOSH specialises in the granualar detail?
If I set myself up as a fly by night unregistered H&S consultant, does the IOSH have any juristiction or clout to escalate to the HSE? Or is it a simple case I'll only get prosecuted after I've killed someone from poor advice?
It does seem to be a confusing area, especially for small business owners, who are prob more likely to fall prey to unchartered and dodgy operators
