Are you employed as a H&S Practitioner (either as an in-house employee or a consultant)?
If not what is your line of business?

Hi guys thanks for the prompt replies.
I asked the OP because I detect in some replies to posts a lack of understanding in health and safety matters which causes me concern if those reading the posts take what has been said as the gospel truth.
I wondered what the repercussions would be?

None, as this is simply a discussion forum. This has been subject to great debate before.
I'm an inhouse OHS practitioner, but get involved with other non-OHS projects.

As so many times before, I suspect a serious misunderstanding here that seeks to link title with experience and ability

Job title is Training & Compliance Manager - which means I do training, fire and H&S. Work with our own staff - we are contractors - working at a large North London hospital: the Trust is our client. They do all the medical stuff, we feed the patients, transfer them about, clean the place, provide security, yada yada. The Trust obviously have their own fire and H&S bods who I work with at times, and often sit on the same committees. I also have fire and H&S responsibilities at another hospital which is part of the Trust, and also to a large multi-department government building in central London(just re-wrote their fire evacuation plans) for which we do the hard and soft FM, and also for a satellite building which we similarly do the hard and soft FM, but houses a different part of our organisation(cash handling).
Busy. Fun.

Unemployed at the moment!
Does that mean anything I say is automatically wrong ?
I used to have a job as an in house Health Safety and Environmental Manager, also the title of Systems Manager ( ISO 9001,14001 and OHSAS18001) at the same time. Company was into heavy steel fabrication.
I would also like to think I was a nice person at heart.
Everything on this site should be taken with a pinch of salt. When I ask a question some answers will be right and some will be wrong, but normally someone points you to a document or book where you can read the words for yourself and decide who you agree with and who you do not. Therefore any decision I make after that point is mine alone and no blame can be attributed to anyone else.

I’ve been unemployed for 20 years. I really wanted to work in Health and safety but failed the NEBOSH certificate 5 times. I’m sitting in my bedroom (I live with my Mum) in my string vest and write on this forum (and many others) to fend off my loneliness and boost my self esteem.
The above might be a lie, but then so might every other post in this thread. And all the other threads which imply competence and offer advice. Which I think is what the OP was alluding to.

Perhaps a better question might be: ‘What do think are your areas of special competence and what would you run a mile from to avoid getting involved with?’
I do things like labs, generic H&S (offices DSE), and fieldwork.
I try not to get involved with CDM, and machinery/plant.

I was in-house all for most of my H&S career, with the odd NEBOSH Dip & Cert lecturing thrown in as well as other projects.
I have now been a consultant since April this year & also lecture on several degree courses in H&S at a local University.
As David alluded to, I am also the Deputy Head Safety Steward at the "Theatre of Dreams" or Manchester United for the non-footballing fraternity!
