Posted By J Knight Hi Folks, I'm looking for bright ideas about practical and cheap (preferably free) methods of canvassing opinions in an extremely dispersed and perhaps not greatly motivated workforce. The idea is that H&S reps should be reps and not just pursuing their own agendas. I'm writing our consultation policy at the moment, and I have no problems where everybody works on one site, as they do in our two admin offices and the care centres/hospices. However, we also have 400 charity shops, each with one or two employees, and around 300 employees delivering domiciliary care, and its these that I need to tap. Their H&S issues are probably the most difficult in the company, and they are also the people most at risk. Any practical suggestions welcome, John

Posted By J Knight This is a fair idea, but ideally I want themt o be able to put forward issues without management being present. Our management isn't obstructive or negative about H&S, but even so people are slightly inhibited when the boss is around, John
