Braeside Safety’s director Brian Prout, is a Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH), and a Practitioner Member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (PIEMA).
Brian holds both the NEBOSH Diploma In Occupational Health and Safety and the NEBOSH Specialist Diploma In Environmental Management.

He is listed on the Occupational Health and Safety Consultants Register (OSHCR), which was established in response to the Government’s Common Sense, Common Safety report. This recommended that all Health and Safety consultants should be accredited to a professional body and a web-based directory be established. The register aims to assist businesses to find advice on general health and safety management.

A network of professional bodies and stakeholders have worked together in partnership to develop this register, which has established a benchmark standard for safety consultants and help to raise the quality of advice being given to businesses.

This minimum standard has been set at a degree level qualification, at least two years’ experience and active engagement in a continuing professional development scheme.
