About our organisation

The Association.

The Association was formed as Wessex Occupational and Safety Association and then moved forward to encompass health matters, hence its change of name to the present one.

The Association is a non-profit making organisation with membership drawn from local firms, local authorities, safety equipment suppliers and others and has a membership of over 90. It is also supported by the Health & Safety Executive local staff and by the local Environmental Health Officers.
Membership of the Association gives the opportunity for delegates and guests to attend monthly afternoon meetings during the year, when invited guest speakers give advice and guidance on a wide range of occupational health & safety matters.

Attendance at the monthly meetings, currently held at Cobham Engineering Sports & Social Club, Merley, not only provides useful information, but also gives attendees the opportunity to meet people who, jointly, have a wealth of knowledge on health & safety matters.

With its monthly meetings and personal contacts, the Association meets its aims of assisting local business.
