Hi all

I'm Nimilote and I'd like to be called Roko. My background was, I served in the HM Forces for nine years, and just finished last week. I have been involved with SHE whilst in uniform during this time, and I quite really enjoyed it, with the stuff it involves and entails.

I have passed all my NEBOSH certificates minus the Oil & Gas certificate. Because I don't think I will end up that route. I am enrolling myself on the NEBOSH National Diploma, starting in April 15.

My background: I started of as a Construction engineer, then I progressed to be Team Leader/Manager. It was three years ago that I started putting myself down in getting qualifications that would become handy once I leave the military.

I am starting on a new role as a H&S Advisor with the NHS in one of their hospitals in North East London. This is starting as a three month contract, but will wait and see what the client thinks nearer to the end of my assignment. I'm a bit nervous as the the Health Care environment is kind of a new thing to me; but as an optimistic person, I know 'I will survive'.

Cheers in advance.

I've just joined the website today. :wave:

I'm based in Leeds, West Yorshire.

I joined the forum as it would be great to chat with other people in health and safety and help each other with any questions.

I'm looking forward to checking out all the forums on this website.

Hi all,

I'm Chris and have recently completed my Construction certificate, I get my result in August. I have been a long time lurker on this site and have downloaded lots of useful info from here. Thank you for that. I work in the roofing industry and I am responsible for all health and safety, keeping 30 guys safe is pretty time consuming.

I look forward to getting to know you all
