IOSH Salary and attitudes to safety survey 2012

Welcome to the IOSH 2012 salary survey – supported by SHP Magazine

Does your job include health and safety?  Are you working as an in-house professional or as a consultant? This survey is your chance to share details of your salary and benefits anonymously with us and also let us know your views on some topical issues.

Who can complete the survey? Anyone with a health and safety role. You don't have to be an IOSH member to complete the survey - non-members can take part too.  

How long will it take? The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. You can move back and forward through the survey, but you won't be able to save your answers half-way through.
