Posted By Neal Clark Hi Dave, SHP is the official professional magazine for IOSH and the thread referred to is simply an announcement (it’s locked). We’ve taken a decision (explained fully in previous threads) to refocus what had become a split service back onto SHP magazine. All we’re doing is providing basic information to enable people to use a service for members in the members’ magazine. Re the timing for the website, as explained in an earlier thread, the effect on our magazine was such that we needed to do something about it now. SHP online is there already and currently offers a recruitment section, so there is no interruption of service. It’s just the future redevelopment of this facility that is being referred to and we expect that to be completed early in the new year. Hope that helps, Neal Clark, Web Co-ordinator.

Posted By Ironbath I would like to add my voice to the dissent regarding this ban. What other professional organisation actively hampers the career development of their members? Advertising rates from print media have dropped from all publications for a number of reasons, including the increased use of the internet as a communication/advertising media. The incorrect answer to the problem has been proposed. It is wrong for IOSH to ban the (relatively few) job adverts on the careers forum, as this will not necessarily increase the takings for SHP or SHP OnLine. IOSH must remember that it is a member's organisation and must be very careful when making decisions that reduce the service level for its members. I request that the Council reconsiders this decision, and continue to keep the commercial side at arms lenght from the member services.
