Posted By Jim Walker I’ve just checked my crystal ball; here are the hot topics that will be discussed on these forums in the next three months: ? Is IRRSM better than IOSH? ? Is Diploma better than NVQ? ? Cert. holders are not competent professionals ? Moderators are too strict ? Moderators are not strict enough ? Can you send me a risk assessment for ………. ? Next week (fill in relevant reg. that has been on the cards for 5 years) becomes law, and I’ve just thought I might do something about it. ? I need advice (on any topic you like that has been discussed here ad nauseam) but I can’t be bothered to do a search ? My favourite: I work for (some government body, usually LA or NHS) we use financial restraints as an excuse not to bother with legal responsibilities, how do others in the same boat fudge this? PS. the CEO has just been awarded a six-figure bonus and our HQ has just been refurbished for the third time in ten years. ? Should I risk assess the office Xmas party. ? Warning: do not photocopy your bum at the office Xmas party ? Should we clear up ice from walkways ? Don’t use mobiles in petrol stations because they blow up – please see this recent warning from Esso (and all the other urban myths). Any more?

Posted By Descarte My spouse or significant other was doing/having "X" activity and badly injured their "X" organ/body part, is there anyway we can claim against "Mr X"

Posted By GeoffB4 Mine is: Jim Walker will respond to and/or initiate at least 64 different threads in the next month on the IOSH forum (going by the last month). Is this a record?

Posted By Paul I think that mr J Clarkson esq might crop up in the odd conversation.

Posted By ITK 1. Newly qualified HSE/LA Officer (Delete as appropriate) never worked in a real workplace therefore should not be inspecting. 2. My boss wants a presentation on (add any subject) without wanting to reinvent the wheel does anyone have one. 3. I have just passed NEBOSH certificate why can I not get a Health and Safety job.

Posted By Descarte Was mine to subtle? having "X" and injuring their "X" organ? Bah, wasted I am I tells ya

Posted By Tony Brunskill Des, I do not see what the X factor has to do with this post. And Claire, I meant to say please!! OK gham!! Thanks

Posted By Paul Pea shooter sales will be restricted to those over 16 years of age because a child will loose an eye at school.( The aforementioned sprog had actually used a biro with the end cap and inner workings taken out.) The Government will announce that pea shooters will require licenses and it will drive sales underground. And gun crime will continue to increase.. This topic will probably appear on a Friday and the thread will be hijacked with details of where the best pub lunch can be found.

Posted By Martyn Hendrie The moderators are too strict/ lenient (take your pick)

Posted By Merv Newman Brilliant. This is the most sideways Friday thread I have ever seen. Thanks. I don't know what to say. Anyone else need a freebie that took me two weeks to develop ? Merv It's threads like this that keep me going. Backwards.

Posted By Paul Did I detect a Mrs Robinson moment in that thread??
