Qualifications in industrial hygiene might be more attractive, but usually not essential.

Things like being able to do sight tests (inc color blindness), respiratory testing, audiometry etc.

Ability to train first aiders would be good.

IOSH is an accreditation, not a certification, btw

NEBOSH cert wouldn't be a bad start
