Kay If only it was 4 things...however, I agree to promote h&s, monitor, possibly provide training/mentoring and provide/check safety documentation. I'm sure others will provide many more topics.

Hello again Thanks for the sugestions, agree with them all but they're not quite the phrase I remember. I'm still trying to think.... It was something quite short (and dare I say - punchy), relating to general skills rather than what you actually have to do, along the lines of "when you'e a H&S professional, you have to be a salesman, a policeman, a politician..." I.e. we have to 'sell' the benefits of H&S, 'police' it and make sure people are doing things right e.g. checks, inspections etc, (not sure about the politician bit). Am I making any sense? Cheers :-)
