5 Benefits of Becoming a British Safety Council Member

At British Safety Council, we’ve spent over 60 years supporting organisations to improve health, safety, and wellbeing in the workplace. Alongside our training and consultancy services, we also offer memberships—an easy and affordable way to get ongoing support, stay informed, and build a stronger safety culture.

Whether you’re managing a small team or leading safety across a large organisation, our membership packages are designed to help you stay compliant, up to date, and equipped with practical tools.

If you’re exploring how a membership can benefit your organisation, here are five great reasons to join us.

Clients, partners and employees want to know that health, safety and wellbeing are a priority for your organisation. With a British Safety Council membership, you can clearly demonstrate that commitment.

As a member, you’ll have access to our official Member logo to use on your website, business cards, documents, merchandise and more. It’s a simple, effective way to build trust and show that you take your HSE responsibilities seriously.

Many organisations want to boost awareness and build a strong safety culture—but don’t always have the time or budget for regular training. That’s why our memberships include 100 free e-learning places per year, covering a wide range of essential topics.

Courses include general HSE awareness, fire safety, manual handling, display screen equipment, working at height, managing stress, and several mental health-focused modules. You can mix and match courses based on what your team needs most.

It’s a flexible, cost-effective way to support staff development and keep safety knowledge fresh—without adding extra admin or expense.

It’s hard to keep up with changing regulations, guidance, and best practice—especially when you have a day job to do. Membership makes it easy to stay in the loop.

You’ll receive our Safety Management magazine, packed with expert articles, updates, and opinions for professionals across every sector. You’ll also get monthly newsletters, news updates on our website, and opportunities to join where members can meet with others in certain sectors to share insights and explore key issues.

With so much to stay on top of, having trusted information delivered to you saves time and helps you stay ahead.

Keeping up with health and safety legislation, best practice, and workplace obligations isn’t easy—especially when regulations change regularly. That’s why our membership gives you access to tools that help you stay compliant and in control.

As a member, you’ll get access to Croner-i Navigate-Safety Lite—a trusted online platform that brings everything together in one place. It offers daily legal updates, clear summaries of key topics, expert-written Q&As, and practical step-by-step toolkits to help you understand your responsibilities and take the right actions. You’ll also receive weekly e-alerts from Croner-i with highlights of what’s new, so you’re always informed.

For organisations that need more in-depth support, our full membership offers two extra modules to make life even easier:

1. The Advice Module gives you 24/7 access to qualified health and safety professionals and HR experts via telephone helplines. Whether you need help navigating a complex regulation, advice on employment law, or clarity on compliance requirements, expert support is just a call away.
2. The Tools and Templates Module gives you access to a wide range of downloadable resources, including editable risk assessment forms, policies, and monthly health and safety posters that you can customise with your own branding.

These extras are especially useful for organisations without in-house health and safety or HR teams—or for those who want added peace of mind. Whether you’re working through a specific issue or looking to improve your internal processes, full membership provides the guidance and tools to help you do it with confidence.

If you’re already investing in training, updates, or awards programmes, member benefits help you go further for less.

Members get exclusive discounts on events like our Annual Conference, plus reduced rates on selected training programmes, workshops and International Safety Awards entries. You’ll also save on upgrades to Croner-i Navigate-Safety Complete—with 30% off for core members, and 50% off for those using the Advice Module.

You’ll be part of a wider community of professionals who take health and safety at work seriously—and get rewarded for it.

Membership with British Safety Council is a simple way to strengthen your safety culture, stay compliant, and give your team the support they need. It’s low effort, high value—and built to help you succeed. If you are interested in becoming a member, find out more about our membership options today.
