A anathema of safety managers

"Anathema" would no doubt suit the Daily Wail etc.
Bob, I'll cover your 'deceit' of lapwings, and raise you my personal favourite, an 'exultation' (of larks).
I remember getting taught this rubbish at Primary School, but can't remember how this collective noun nonsense came about. There are numerous daft collective nouns for animals that lead a solitary existence though, so no reason at all that we H&S people can't have one.
I seem to remember it's a "[expletive deleted]" of assassins. Some might say that's a good fit.

Well, well! Whilst we may not have an edit function, it appears we have an automatic expletive deleter!
And here was me thinking that "[expletive deleted]" was an accepted word.

Here are some suggestions based on adaptations of synonyms for groups which follow 'osh' to indicate the speciality and 'man' to denote managers irrespective of their gender:
oshmancluster oshmanglomeration oshmanedley oshmangregation oshmansemble
Also, if you make a group of safety managers wear ear plugs PLUS ear muffs, you're free to call them whatever you wish, even if it's highly derogatory, because they won't be able to hear you! Best to stand behind them or cover your mouth just in case any of them are good at lip-reading! :-)

Please pm me & put me out of my misery - I've goggled a group of assassins & can find no clues.
By the way - our e-mail cyber nanny doesn't like the word latex which makes life difficult when you are trying to offer advice about PPE

I think gramsay was refering to Beelzebub's other name and how it was apparently mis-spelt as 'Santa'........

There is of course an Ambush of tigers and perhaps many managers feel just this about us, We are far too ecletic a group for anybody to actually understand us and know where we are coming from:-)

When I drafted my response at #19 the 5 suggestions I gave had reasonable spacing between them. However, the spacing got squeezed after I posted the response - which suggests that the forum has a format system which dislikes clusters of spacebar generated spaces. I might be persuaded now to join others in asking for an edit facility!
Out of curiosity following some of yesterday's responses I looked at the internet for information about common names for groups of creatures. Among other things I found that a 'parliament' can be an alternative to a 'murder' of crows. In relation to the quest of this thread, two more names arose from what I saw: A chattering (as of choughs - members of the corvidae/crow 'family' of birds". Safety managers (and OS&H people generally) are not usually noted for being quiet and reticent, so a chattering seems quite apt. However, a convocation (as of eagles and also some university committees) sounds quite grand and is probably more acceptable to such managers! :-)

Judging from some of the above suggestions it seems that safety managers might have the dubious distinction of being the top category of disparagee on this forum at present. Oh well, perhaps it makes a change from the usual categories such as consultants, in-house advisers, HSE inspectors and public sector OS&H advisers. On another thread yesterday someone had a go at makers and installers of domestic condensing type boilers (regarding condensate pipes) but nobody else seemed to want to join in.
Which group is likely to succeed safety managers as the next contender for top disparagee on this forum?!!! :-)
