18 limited edition 'forum whinger' badges available (was 20 but one for me and one for Allan St John Holt (not as a whinger but for originality in being the first to use the phrase)leaves 18. Tastefully designed simple message which will not offend anybody.
Available free of charge on a first come first served basis for anyone who subscribes to this forum and is going to the Glasgow conference in April.
You'll need to confirm your interest by email (you never know, demand might exceed supply!) and a sae will be required if confirmed.

Could be a useful tool and we could form a general whingers society from the specialist whinger groups, eg Council Whingers, HSE Action whingers, It wastes time whingers etc etc.
What about the secret greeting to establish fellow members.

Do I qualify as a whinger if I complain about having to go to Glasgow to get one?

Since it is easier for Scottish members to get these badges than English or Welsh colleagues, this offer is obviously discriminatory on racial grounds, and I do not think this forum should be used for such purposes!
Do I now qualify?

Hi Geoff,
Surely those persons who are involved in health and safety are professional whingers by occupation. Afterall, we have people whinging at us (part-timers)and then we whinge to senior management, who in turn whinge on about lack of resources. Come to think of it everybody whinges !
The acronym for whingers:
We Have Iteratively Nothing Given Except Rueful Sighs
Must be worth a couple of CPD's points if not a badge.
Regards
Ray

Sorry Raymond but you are obviously experienced at this therefore you cannot develop professionally any further. But if you teach others how to whinge successfully then it could be claimable perhaps.

Geoff,
I hope these badges are the plastic clip on type and not the traditional pin variety. A quick risk assessment would identify that giving a safety proffesional a sharp object would surely result in a pricked finger.

Mmmm - it's the pin type.
Mind you I would be more impressed with your point if you could spell 'professional'.

Don't worry. RoSPA and the HSE have both issued badges with pins in the past without accompanying warnings so hazard proliferation could be considered the industry norm in this respect.
