Posted By A. Fergusson We all know what COSHH stands for or the meaning of RIDDOR but how many acronyms do we use and is there a list anywhere? Are we as Safety professional the worst for shortening titles or are there worse professions? I was looking to use a list of commonly use acronyms as an H&S competition as a light hearted way to raise awareness Any list would be most appreciated Andrew
