Posted By Tim Friends I have worked out what the picture is on web-safety.com. It says 428 (sorry if that spoils it for anybody) but what does it mean? Come to think about it there has been 428 references appearing on this website for a while now without an explanation. There is a countdown beside the image this time but no indication of what it is counting down to. Does anybody know? Tim

Posted By TBC They're obviously advertising/selling something and it comes out the 28th of this month!! Hence to use of the number 428 a bit like 9/11, 7/7 etc.

Posted By Gilly Margrave ... which makes more sense if you look at the content of 428 News. http://www.web-safety.com/Newswire/428news.htm Gilly

Posted By J Knight No, It is about the 28th of April, which apparently is International Workers Memorial Day. Sounds like a US initiative to me; not that its not a good idea, a similar event here could be a reality-check for the elf-n-safety bashers, John

Posted By David Bramall Wow Never mind what it (428) means - have you seen the updated website - "a free health and safety manual" I would go for that. These guys must be crazy - giving stuff away for free! Looks good to me, must go and look for a job somewhere. Maybe there is a forum for shelf stackers or something! dunno. However, isn't this what this forum is (supposedly) all about - sharing information, best practice, etc. This is surely the best example of this that I have seen here - and I dont think it should adversely affect any of us. Well done web-safety.com
