Brian Nimick, chief executive of IIRSM, said: ‘IIRSM is dedicated to recognising effective, qualified, education. In doing so we aim to improve safety standards in the UK and across the world. Our endorsement of the Cardinus e-learning courses is awarded after stringent reviews that ensured the products were of the highest standards.’

The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) is a professional body for health and safety practitioners and specialists in related fields who have a health and safety remit. It was set up to advance standards in accident prevention and occupational health throughout the world.

Cardinus and IIRSM have worked together on a number of joint initiatives, including events such as the European Health and Safety Forum, organised by Cardinus and sponsored by IIRSM.

Jon Abbott, managing director of Cardinus Risk Management, said: 'I am delighted with the IIRSM endorsement. For over 12 years we have worked tirelessly to ensure our courses deliver measurable results for our customers with an emphasis on encouraging behaviour change. This endorsement recognises our efforts.’
