Affiliate Membership
In order to pursue the objectives of the Society over the widest possible field, the Society operates an Affiliate membership scheme for Corporate organisations. Such organisations may be companies, government departments, professional institutions and educational establishments. Admission to the class of Affiliate is at the discretion of Council.
The procedure for Affiliate membership is as follows:
Print an application form or save, complete and e-mail an application form.
Please send supporting evidence such as CVs of directors, corporate brochures and other information about your company to the Society's office to support your application.
Your complete application will be processed by the office and forwarded to the External Affairs Committee for consideration.
The External Affairs Committee in conjunction with the Council will consider your application and advise the office of their decision, at which point you will be informed of the decision by letter.
Your invoice will be sent and on payment you will receive a certificate of affiliation and will begin to enjoy the many benefits of affiliation to the Safety and Reliability Society.
The consideration process typically can take 8 weeks from receipt of your application to acceptance.
Benefits of Affiliate Membership
The following benefits, available to Affiliate Members of the Society, are included in the cost of the annual subscription.
Entry in a Directory of Affiliates
The Society office maintains a Directory of Affiliates containing details of Affiliate Companies and Organisations able to provide services in the area of safety and reliability. When the Society receives enquiries from organisations seeking the services of such Companies and Organisations, these details are given out in response.
Full page Advertisement in the Society’s Journal
The Journal, which is published quarterly, is issued to all members of the Society and other interested organisations. It provides a valuable information resource concerning the Society’s activities and advancements in the field. Copies of the Society’s quarterly Journal and monthly Broadsheet, will be sent out on a regular basis to the Affiliate Member's nominated representative.
Exhibition Space at Conferences and Workshops
Each year, the Society holds conferences and/or workshops, which are attended by delegates working in the area of safety and reliability or have an interest in that area. Many of these delegates are from Companies who may be seeking specialist advice. Affiliate Members of the Society are offered free exhibition space (where included) at these events, and are thus able to directly demonstrate their capabilities to these potential clients.
Links from the Society’s Web Site
The Society maintains an up-to-date web site where links can be provided to Affiliate Companies. These links are made by clicking on the relevant Company name in a list of Affiliates provided on a dedicated Affiliates’ web page. A brief description of the services offered by the Affiliate Company may also be included on the Affiliate web page if so required.
Discounts on Chargeable Services
These discounts are available for:
Additional advertisements in the quarterly Journal of the Safety and Reliability Society.
Mailshots to all members and other interested organisations.
Delegate attendance at conferences and workshops, in addition to individual member discounts.
Mailshots can be included with other regular mailings from the Society, at a reduced charge, or else can be sent out as single mailshots. The very competitive rates charged by the Society to Affiliates for these mailshots provide a highly cost effective way of accurately targeting a readership guaranteed to have an interest in the field of safety and reliability. Details of the costs of these and similar services, and the discounts offered, are available on application to the Safety and Reliability Society.
