RoSPA Scotland : Home Safety
The Scotland office home safety department is based in Edinburgh, but we cover the length and breadth of Scotland. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents was established more than 90 years ago, beginning it's life as the London Safety First Council. Now, the acronym 'RoSPA' is known widely, and the Society is one of the most prominent safety organisations in the world. With it's headquarters in Birmingham, RoSPA employs almost 150 people. Most of these are based in Edgbaston Park, but the Society is committed to maintaining a presence throughout the UK. To this end, there are long established RoSPA offices in Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff. Here in Edinburgh there are specialists in road safety, home safety and occupational safety and health.
