What is CPD
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) helps you create a structured career path,
as well as safeguarding your professional status.
- It’s about improving your skills, knowledge and expertise by carrying out
development activities.
- After carrying out these activities, you reflect on what you’ve gained or achieved.
- While CPD is open to all categories of IOSH Membership, Technical Members,
Graduate Members, Chartered Members and Chartered Fellows are bound by the
IOSH Code of Conduct to carry out CPD.
- A Development Plan will be requested by the Membership team when upgrading
from an Affiliate membership.

identify the gaps in your knowledge
and skills

months.

How to maintain a successful CPD record
Recording your CPD
To help you write your reflection statement you
simply answer the following questions:
- What was the activity you completed?
- Why did you decide to carry out this
activity?
- What did you gain from completing the
activity?
- How will you use or apply the knowledge
you gain?
Activity – Reflection statements
How to maintain a successful CPD record
CPD
- No longer operates in a three year cycle.
- Points/credits are no longer a part of the CPD assessment process criteria.
- CPD activities are not counted in hours.
- CPD does not have to be all health and safety related.
- You do not need to spend money on completing qualifications or courses to
complete your CPD.
Myth busting
What counts as CPD
Professional training can play a big part in your
development, but you can include a range of other
activities when planning your CPD, including:
• Working on one-off internal projects
• Managing budgets
• Designing training or learning programmes
• Voluntary work in the local community using your
professional skills.
• Chairing or attending a meeting
• Reading professional journals – monthly IOSH
magazines
CPD
“I don’t have enough time to complete my CPD” is the most common answer given by
members for not completing their CPD.
Some pointers that may help;
- Use the IOSH annual CPD planner CPD Annual Planner.xlsx
- Record your activities
- Divide your working year into quarters
- Set aside 40 minutes at the end of each quarter
- Review - record - reflect
Have a structured approach to your CPD
