Thanks for your response David-I hope that you don't object to me sending
this on the mail base e-mail for all on the list to read.
I had waited before responding, hoping for more OH&S personnel's views on

Could it be that not many use it? If not why not?
I would be interested to hear Chris Pacham's view on this-I trust you to be
non-biased Chris!
