Posted By Chris G If the green side is going to be a significant part of your work & time & money permits, think about one of the courses for AIEMA. IEMA are one of the main enviromental institues, & looking at the discussion forum over the last couple of years, maybee IOSH & IEMA ought to work closely together since many practitioners are HS & E. I see requests for Enviromental answers on IOSH & H&S requests through IEMA. Chris G
