SWITCH is keen to encourage companies to share best practice to raise standards of health and safety, training, learning and development, and technical competence in the Scottish resource management industry.

Do you have a health and safety issue you are struggling to resolve?

Have you made good progress addressing a particular H&S issue you would be willing to share?

If so, SWITCH is always keen to hear from you, and we may be able to build into future workplans and use the network to help improve the sector!
