Posted By Bill Fisher David Rather than get responses which give little value, why not ring the Membership Department at IOSH (0116 257 3100) and get a definative view. Good luck Bill

Posted By Dave Nicholls Bill/Peter, Break it up guys!! This is the season of goodwill isnt it? You are both missing the point. The idea of my original post was to receive some feedback and share your experiences. Although you have contrasting comments, I consider them all to be valid as you have taken time out(however small) to answer a 'shot in the dark' question from a relative stranger. At least now I know of someone who has tried to join IOSH in the same position as myself and has been told they dont make the grade, so to speak. On the flipside, I can either rest on my laurels and that take that advice or I can ring IOSH and find out from them - at least that way I'll know for definite either way. Whatever way you look at it, you have both saved me a little bit of time and wasted effort, as now I wont bother sending in a potentially fruitless application (for now at least!) For this, I thank you both. Kind Regards Dave
