Decided to leave as the SDSR was kicking in and my branch was closing up and they were making redundancies. Got a job as an EHS Apprentice...

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! I have returned from West Africa without any nasty stuff (hopefully).

Obviously I can't use a 14001/18001 checklist as they aren't accredited to this, I was looking online for a Legal Compliance register for the country to audit against but that's been unsu...
