A new national register of occupational safety consultants will be set up to help employers access good quality, proportionate advice, HSE has confirmed.

The Occupational Safety Consultants Register (OSCR) will go live in January 2011. It will provide firms with details of consultants who have met the highest qualification standard of recognised professional bodies and who are bound by a code of conduct that requires them to only give advice which is sensible and proportionate.
