ABOUT US

The Circular OSH Collective is a group of individuals working in the Occupational Safety and Health space who are committed to delivering improvements to OHS across the globe by donating training, equipment and resources to develop sustainable solutions.

What do COSHC do

COSHC build sustainable OHS solutions in countries that aspire to be better.

We are normally approached by bodies or individuals and asked to help with specific or general OHS issues.

We then deliver the project though a team of volunteers and support organsiations.

What does a project consist of?

A project may be anything connected to OHS but is generally training and equipment.

Due to our project locations, equipment is often in short supply and training in OHS is theory-based. We source donated equipment and training to support local OHS trainers.

We also help develop OHS support services as well. Take a look at our past projects.

RECENT PROJECTS

Asbestos Ukraine

A UK asbestos removal company had replaced its old equipment with new equipment. Although fully serviceable, the old equipment was not used and was destined to be scrapped.

The equipment was donated, and they kindly put together training to allow the local Construction Union training body to further asbestos training throughout the country.

Moldova

Service Avoidance Moldova / Tajikistan

Due to significant amounts of underground service damage, workers in Moldova were suffering injuries and the local community was suffering from power outages. A national hire company were upgrading their fleet of cable avoidance tools and donated their older equipment.

With donated training materials the equipment was issued to workers in Moldova and reduced service strikes.

Some equipment was issued to an OHS professional in Tajikistan who was then mentored in developing their own underground pipe and cable surveying service.
