The benefits of being a Member or Associate include Members’ rates at ISTR symposia and access to presentations given the symposia, being able to attend our exclusive Members’ only skills workshop and being part of the ISTR discussion forum.
There are four categories of ISTR Membership. See Annex A of the Constitution for full details.
New applicants apply to become Members or Associates. The requirements for each are:
A graduate or equivalent working within the disciplines of health and safety who are professionally active in one of the following or related sectors:
Those whose knowledge and experience do not qualify them as Members can join as Associates provided they have sufficient interest in the activities of the Institute. Referees are not required.
Associates will enjoy all the privileges of membership except that they will not have voting rights, nor will they be eligible for election to office.
Nominations for Fellowship are made to and agreed by the Executive Committee before being elected by the membership at the Annual General Meeting.
For members who have retired from gainful employment but who wish to retain their membership of ISTR.
Please follow the process below. Once your application has been submitted it will be reviewed by the ISTR Executive Committee. Membership will be activated upon approval by the Committee and receipt of payment.
By accepting membership of the Institute, a person agrees to the holding of the personal data supplied on application in the Directory of Membership, and to disclosure of that information to ISTR Members, and to disclosure for other purposes which the Executive Committee may decide.
