Lindsey makes an interesting observation. I have a (soon to be) OHN graduate
who happened to be a nurse but had a BSc in sports science and an M Phil in
exercise physiology. She completed the BSc (Hons) OH Nursing degree but had
she not been a nurse we would have accepted her on our BSc (Hons) Workplace
Health Management programme. In either case she could carve a niche, for
example, advising on fitness in high risk occupations such as the fire
service.

I know some of OH practitioners have concerns about the emerging numbers of
OH Technicians as there is always the potential that they may take posts
which used to be the preserve of OHNs and as they are unregulated there are
professional issues. My argument is that they are very valuable members of
the team provided their practice is supervised. A word of caution - I once
encountered a H&S advisor who held  MSc's in both OH and in Occ Hygiene.
S/he was doing some freelance work advising an organisation and seeing
clients for management referrals re attendance issues. I would question
their competence to do that plus s/he had moved into H&S having been a TU
activist. I would also question their impartiality - this is based on
conversations with them about how they invariably sided with the
employee!!!!
