Hi all, I have just got a job as site based H&S advisor on a project down London which i really looking foreward to getting started.I would not say i have great EH&S experience (about 5 years) or qualification (NEBOSH gen,IOSH managing,IEMA foundation aswell as other smaller releted courses such as first aid,scaffold inspection,pasma,fire marshall but i would say i have great experience in the construction industry and i think it was this that got me the role as i know how and were the actual workers who at the end of the day are the people doing the hard graft come from as i was a tradesperson myself for 13 years and not from another background or somebody with H&S construction experience but did not come from the roots of the industry.I just thought i put my reasons why i got the job and its not always the people with CMIOSH status who get the work.

Thanks John, Very much proud of myself to get were im at know as i did not leave school with the best of grades and basically got a apprenticeship by chance.Got the bug for H&S when i done IOSH managing safely and have financed all my EH&S courses myself which made the more determined to succeed. Regards, Lee.

Well done to you. I have been in safety for 22 years now and like you I started on the tools. It has been a great vehicle for me over the years knowing what the 'workers' think and do and it helps to communicate the safety message to them on the same level i.e. same language so to speak. I don't have a degree or anything, all my safety qualifications have been self funded and self motivated over the years and God willing I will have my CMIOSH by the end of the year. It's taken me this long to decide that I want it now.
