“By working together with CBH, SEQOHS believes that both construction employers and OH providers will benefit from this change,” it said.

The move complements a pilot scheme being run by the faculty and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics which aims to develop an accreditation programme that will work for occupational physiotherapy service providers.
