Rank: Guest		Posted By William O'Donnell Can anyone out there help. I am trying to bench mark salaries, for health and safety professionals. You know the sort of thing, national/regional averages. I believe the Institute provide such figures, are these available for this year? Thank you

Rank: Guest		Posted By Julie P You could try www.payfinder.com. I've found this quite useful, as it gives you a regional split for different H&S roles. Hope this helps, Julie

Rank: Guest		Posted By J Knight Try www.payfinder.com; apparently H&S managers get an average of 29K and a little bit (I wonder what kind of average they use; government national 'average' wage figures for example are median wages, which is utterly meaningless, modal averages would be much more interesting) John

Rank: Guest		Posted By Kate Graham I don't see what use a modal average would be. The median is the one you want for salaries (and not the mean).

Rank: Guest		Posted By Mike Craven When it comes to salaries, I always find it useful to quote those that are higher then your own and conveniently forget the ones that are lower!!!!!!!! Mike

Rank: Guest		Posted By Neil Pearson Forget SHP, the higher-paid jobs often don't have the salary specified in the adverts, and many of the best jobs don't get advertised at all.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Bill Bircham William, - I must agree with Neil in the previous post. Perhaps you best bet would be to approach some of the respected Agencies who deal with the level of position you are looking at elevating yourself too. Not only would they likely be able to give indicative remuneration details, but may even have your ideal role just waiting for you! Regards Bill

Rank: Guest		Posted By J Knight Zoe, A modal average would illustrate what most people get for the job, unlike either median or mean it is less subject to being skewed by extremes at either end. Modal averages for salaries are best expressed in bands, and can be constructed quite easily. Means are better than medians, though, John

Rank: Guest		Posted By John Webster I had a look at payfinder.com Looks as if the average salary for an H&S AdvisEr is £2.2k more than that of an H&S AdvisOr.!! So its not the letters after your name wot counts, its the letters in it.

Rank: Guest		Posted By William O'Donnell thank you to everyone, I did not expect such a response. I think the bottom line is that I am not getting payed what I am worth, or getting too much for what I do!

Rank: Guest		Posted By Kate Graham If you band them first then I agree the mode is fine, but if you took the mode of the raw salaries the results would be meaningless.
