Working in Health and Safety (H&S) roles often gives you a unique perspective that can sometimes set you apart from your colleagues. This outsider viewpoint can help you identify potential risks and areas for improvement, which is an integral part of your job. However, it's completely understandable to feel lonely or uncertain sometimes, especially if your peers don’t share your concerns about safety.

While this different perspective can enhance your focus and provide a strong sense of purpose in promoting safety and well-being, it can also take a toll on your mental health. It's vital to seek support from peers, mentors, or professional networks who understand your challenges. Striving for a balance between being a safety advocate and fostering connections within the organisation is key to maintaining your well-being. Remember, open communication and collaboration can help bridge those gaps and alleviate feelings of isolation. You are not alone in this journey.

I don't believe you are alone here,Vanessa. Reaching out to Workbridge could be a constructive step in finding valuable information about the current situation. Based on our experience with them, they were able to provide useful insights. It's worth considering reaching out to them for their expertise. Vanessa, I, too, would you get some helpful information from Workbridge, from whom we have resources and information in the past about a similar situation. You are not alone with this one.

The safest option is for all drivers to obtain an "F" endorsement for their license, especially if unsure about roading.

Amazing resource thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the explanation, this makes sense.

"Excellent job on maintaining strict adherence to the forum's guidelines." It is imperative that we come here to share our opinions, seek advice, and engage in productive discussions, rather than attacking others for their views.

Still done :sad:

Interesting article if anyone hasn't already seen this from the drug foundation. As an impairment test using saliva testing has shown the potential to not be reliable and is discredited as imperfect.
