Posted By Jim Walker Chris, I guess you are new to the H&S profession, otherwise you would be aware that Allan is Mr OH&S. Ask IOSH how many copies of his book has been sold, also ask IOSH about their financial benefits from these. I challenge you to find any other individual who has done more for the cause and advancement of this profession in the last decade (or more). To my knowledge, Allen is very generous with both his time and know how. And he takes a ribbing with good humour. I for one would prefer it if you keep your silly remarks to youself.

Posted By Nick House Jim/ Ian Wholeheartedly agree with you both. I know that most people on this forum are more than happy to share any knowledge that they may have to help others, but over the years, Allan seems to have regularly gone the 'extra mile'. Mr. Chris What have you contributed?

Posted By Ken Urquhart Mr Chris, Like the other contributors I have the privilege of knowing and sharing the friendship, support, counsel and IOSH fellowship of Allan St John Holt, over many years. As a simple matter of histroy IOSH when we first met in those formative and pioneering safety days was, IISO. (The Institution of Industruial Safety Officers) Some 30 plus years later we are both still IOSH members and still contributing to our chosen profession and the evolution and furtherance of our professional body. I have no idea what has prompted your posting but would politely suggest that before posting further messages on the Forum particularly regarding individuals/personalities, you might like to re-read the Forum Users Guidelines.
