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.

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 ...

Its failr simple and straight forward (normal taps are easy, mixing taps where you cant have either hot or cold, is a little trickier) and can be ...

Re: Ban on Electric Heaters in office
