Re: CV personal statements:

Late to this party but...

Re: COSHH / SDS query from a newbie

If you have a specific supplier, example, Newline, who provide the chemicals you use they will often have copies of all the SDS for the products they sell so you may be able to get them all from one place. If you buy from stores or online retailers like amazon etc then you'll need to go to the ...

Re: IOSH Membership worth it?

I didnt see any value in it so didnt renew after a couple of years and if people ask if im a member, i give them my membership number. If someone checks and it says im not, i'll say "opps, forgot to renew", but so far, its never come up.

As someone who would be called out to my various places of work when the alarm went off; Any signs of forced entry we were required to wait outside and call the police.

Re: Fire Warden/ exit routes / firstaiders and Kit locations posters in a office space

Where are staff most likey to take the time to read things?

It depends on your building layout but (for signs about fire wardens / 1st aid and 1st aid kits) I would have them at:
Reception or building entrance (next to timecard machines etc)
Staff room and/or Cafeteria Notice Boards
Entrance to ...

Re: Ban on Electric Heaters in office

If you are looking to heat smaller rooms. Oil filled radiators would be my suggestion. Far les dangerous and less costly.
