Hello again...

It may be that posting a message late on Friday afternoon is asking for it to be ignored - or perhaps it's just that no-one really is interested? (those not interested need not reply!)

My previous posting was:

Back last July, I raised the matter of the requirement slipped in by IOSH that Managing Safely had been given a three year "life" and after three years holders of that qualification were required to undertake refresher training.

I never got a definitive answer on what this refresher training entailed. The nearest to it was that if the refresher is undertaken within the three years, it could be of one day duration, but outside of the three years it must be the full four day course (very much like first aid at work).

Now though, I see an accredited provider advertising a one day refresher "for delegates who have undertaken IOSH Managing Safely more than 3 years ago".

So where does that leave us? Is a one day training acceptable over three years or not?

Definitive answer please would be very much appreciated because we have around 35 staff who will need this retraining and it isn't going to be cheap!
