More than 1,600 highly qualified consultants in the UK, including Tucson North's Paul Cormack, have signed up to the online Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR). OSHCR is a new online directory, supported by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to help businesses find a health and safety consultant that they can trust to give sensible, expert advice. 

The Register was established by a number of professional bodies representing general safety and occupational health consultants in response to the Government-commissioned Common Sense Common Safety report into Britain’s health and safety system, which called for improved competence in health and safety advice.

Before consultants can join the register they must prove they can meet strict eligibility criteria. Each must belong to a professional body, have a degree-level qualification, at least two years’ experience and have demonstrated a commitment to continuing their professional development.

Tucson North is a major curling sponsor in Scotland and, as part of this commitment, has agreed to fund the Banchory Curling Club 125th Anniversary pins and commemorative items for 2010. Tucson North has also agreed to continue to sponsor Curl Aberdeen Scotland through 2012, and was pleased to contribute to last year’s European Curling Championships held in the city.

Curl Aberdeen is a world-class venue which caters for a very large regional curling community (including Banchory Curling Club). It provides great youth development, and outstanding opportunities for physically-challenged curlers. Curl Aberdeen is home rink for the 2006 and 2009 European Mixed Curling Champions.

Tucson North employees are active members in the Royal Caledonia Curling Club, and we encourage our people to get involved in coaching activities and to represent Tucson North as on and off-ice officials for regional and international championship events.
