Tim Briggs, the new president of IOSH, the world's biggest health and safety membership organisation, has praised the IOA's competency certificates.
"I gained the Certificate of Competence in Workplace Noise Risk Assessment five years ago. I found it tough, but I felt I had a worthwhile qualification as a result," he said.
A senior lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University, Mr Briggs is responsible for managing undergraduate and postgraduate health and safety courses accredited by IOSH.
