I am just curious, if you have limited knowledge of Health and Safety - do you fit the criteria they ask for in the job description for the Safety Managers position? I would suggest a crash course in Health and Safety Management,you can achieve the General certificate in a block course of two weeks, although I personally feel that the minimum qualification for a safety Managers position is MIOSH, by whichever route and preferably RSP,, luckily for most the majority of employers dont agree and are confused anyway as to who is a competent safety advisor anyway - I feel a thread comming on

True enough. Rome wasn't built in a day - but as we used to say in the construction industry (all together, now) "That's because I wasn't the project manager on that job".
Seriously, if you're going to participate in the Forum, you need to be aware that writing in capitals is called 'shouting' and is not good netiquette.
The reasons I think the Forum flourishes are that nobody is rubbished for asking obvious questions, and the answers are top class. Even the non-technical threads are interesting to read.

Allan and I are in danger of being regarded as a mutual appreciation society (you need to look at other threads to understand this comment) but I agree with him that the real strength is to treat all as equals with something to offer. We bring different skills, background and experience to bear on problems. Don't get too down about things it takes time to be able to say "when I was a lad"- none of us will be identical. Confidence in your own analysis grows with time and we are always learning new lessons and ideas. When that stops we are dead, that applies to the Institution also in my view.

I think I'd agree with all those comments. Can I join?
I do remember one memorable thread about earthquakes (Allan - maybe you were on your sabbatical!) which was rightly rubbished, but generally I find the questions and answers (especially mine) to be of very high quality.
Best regards to all
Geoff

GJS,
Thought I would leave this until after the interview, how did it go I am really interested.
No disrespect mate but how can an employer interview someone for a H&S Managers Job which obviously has PPC / IPPC requiremets with regards to discharges to controlled waters with, I assume no relevant, qualifications or experience.
Sorry to put this under your question but I really am amazed.
If you get this position I would get some advice and help ASAP mate.

Have I missed some information here with regards to the proposed job content and the current qualifications of GJS.
I took this at face value and would be happy for Dave and to reveal the source of their inside information
