Posted By IOSH Web Manager Merv, Hazel Harvey here (with plastic bag in Aberdeen Airport at the moment). Sorry if we have troubled you with this call for entries to our Awards. Although we have posted in SHP and on this web-site for members to enter this award we have had little response so we bit the bullet and contacted directly members about this. Unfortunately we couldn't distinguish members who may be eligible so we had to contact you all. It isn't spam it is a genuine member communication as we would like entries from people who became MIOSH during 2005. Hazel Harvey Director of Professional Affairs
