HandS links with SOHSA

Established in 1922, the Sheffield Occupational Health and Safety Association’s mission is to “protect people’s health and safety by ensuring risks in the changing workplace are properly controlled”. The aim of SOHSA is to support local companies and individuals in their quest for improved health and safety performance and thirst for relevant knowledge, offering benefit to members across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

Present group members include safety professionals in engineering sectors, construction, scientific laboratories and research, heavy industries (including steel and glass manufacture), hospitals and first-aid, local councils, theatre, education and training, retail, legal and office sectors.

The excellent SOHSA website includes Association announcements, downloads, an events diary, e-Newsletter, and health and safety news – the very latest news from a range of sources — Safety Forums and more. SOHSA invites members to ask for advice, share information and offer support with other like-minded occupational health and safety professionals.
