I heard Chris Evans this morning talking about health and safety and perhaps that could be the next challenge, he does one every week, i.e. golf, tennis, ice hockey and as they have discussed H&S recently they have an idea about doing one re H&S. They mention the usual negative things like staying awake, so here is an opportunity for IOSH to get some excellent publicity and raise the correct profile. I suggest that someone at IOSH contact the BBC and offer to provide a training course, before another organisation gets in, but it must be a good training course delivered by an excellent presenter who is entertaining as well as informative. These challenges are filmed and played on BBC 2 website.

rayh, that sound exciting enough for them to see the dangers, and feel the heat, if the presenter is good they would enjoy that. Also it could be good on film, rather than a classroom all day. I wonder how Chris Evans will decide on what to do? Will he decide himself and possible choose a crap trainer and be thoroughly bored, or go with something like you have offered? Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Paul, Yes, do keep on trying, I think it is important that something like this is coordinated to ensure it is professionally handled to avoid yet another "health and safety" myth. Could you let us know here what, if anything, you have in mind for Chris Evans if he does make contact?

A tenner in it for you if you douse him in petrol first before letting loose near the fire. ;-)

I know you're not serious but that's not what we want to see on this forum. Some of us actually like Chris Evans, I'm sure his family do.

I wish to apologise for my earlier post introducing humour into what we must maintain as a grey, dour, subject that is health and safety. I am sure that Radio 2 would agree that H&S is no laughing matter. Hey, perhaps that is what Mr Evans should attempt as his challange, trying to get any humour or mirth onto the discussion forum !!
