Defining Competence in Health & Safety - Mike Smith | Saiosh Health & Safety Conference 2025

Join the My Safety Hub team as they sit down with Mike Smith, Head of Awarding Organisation at IOSH (UK). Mike unpacks the definition of competence, the role of behaviour and attitude, and how IOSH and Saiosh professional standards help shape global occupational health and safety practices. They also discuss the IOSH Diploma, the impact of leadership on safety culture, and why being a member of a Professional Body such as Saiosh and IOSH is more than just a badge — it’s a signal of commitment and credibility.
