What is the SWITCH Forum?

SWITCH (Scottish Waste Industry Training, Competency, Health & Safety) is a multi-partnership forum made up of organisations across all sectors within the resource
management industry.

The Forum has two main areas of focus:
• Health & Safety: Supporting continual
improvement in health and safety.
• Education, Training & Competence: Raising competence and helping to create opportunities for learning and workforce development .
 
The aim of the Forum is to provide leadership by working collaboratively to raise standards of health and safety, training, learning and development, and technical competence and to promote the Scottish resource
management industry as an attractive career choice.
