Your message implies that you have had an incoherent response, which is better than no response at all. The last communication I had from SCAUM was in January 2003. A parcel arrived containing an empty brown ring binder with 'Health and Safety in Field Archaeology' on the spine. The accompanying letter reads...
Dear Colleague
In the next few weeks you will be recieving a copy of the SCAUM Health and Safety manual on CD. Enclosed is a folder for you to use should you wish to produce a hard copy.
Yours sincerely
SM

Nothing at all happened in the next few weeks... or months... or indeed ever since. I suspect my SCAUM membership is long-since lapsed in the intervening three years so anything that was sent out by them may not have been sent to me.
We have since just got on with it anyway, and developed a more comprehensive approach to Health and Safety, using external consultants and web-based system of risk-assessment. Each individual member of staff has their own H&S and Personal Development folder for which they are responsible so the idea of having one in the site portaloo is kind of redundant.
