Post subject: Where has the profession gone? Reply with quote
Over the last couple of years there has been a demise in public comment within the safety profession.

We've had the odd radical try and derail quality discussion forums within the profession, but that does not excuse the lack of quality product produced within the forum.

We've had a reasonable number of hands on people switch to this site, JD's and now in a very watered down way 'Aussie yabber'.

What's happened to the CFSIA's and MSIA's that used to contribute in an academic way to the profession.

Regardless of the functionality of the SIA site (which appears to have died through the self imposed lethargy of the SIA as it withdrew to lick its wounds) where have our academics gone.

Given the boom in the OHS market over the last couple of years I would expect to see these sites growing.

Your thoughts?

I tell you right now Mark that they have not the knowledge or committment to get themselves qualified so why would you expect them to have any committment to the safety profession?

I might be a radical to you but I have the experience and qualifications, they are the radicals protecting there dumb, corrupt mates in the Safety Institute of Australia and as such you won't get comment out of them, they don't care about safety if they did they would get some qualifications and move it to a profession that is so deserves.
