[broken link removed]Hi,
For a samll company, (5 people, engineering co.), can anyone advise as to whether membership of SFA or ISME is more suitable.
Reason for joining would be to get advice on keeping up to date with Health and Safety Regulations and Employment contracts etc.
Not interested in the "Networking" side of it, more good advice on the above.
Thanks
1st PostISME without a doubt! Their Health & Safety and Employment Law manuals are ledgendary. And more importantly, for an SME, they are the ONLY independent voice of small business. SFA is part of IBEC, who are made up 9AND FUNDED!) primarily of banks, big business and public sector employers, NOT SME employers! ISME is funded soley by their memberships, hence their total independence. They also have a 24 hour helpline, and even ignoring the other many benefits of membership, their back office support alone is more than worth the small membership fee.

It's clear that you have something to do with ISME.
Their H&S and Employment Law manuals are just rehashes of information freely available on government websites.

ISME and SFA are both a waste of money
Are you involved with either organisation, Eilis?
Going by your username are you any relation to Sue Ellis from the ISME Business Development Team.yes, I'm involved with ISME. This is on a completely voluntary basis, as I feel very strongly about what they do, and who they represent.

In a statement today, Isme chairman Eilis Quinlan said: “It is now more important than ever that Ireland remains a pivotal constituent of the European project. Our support of the Lisbon Treaty will allow us retain our role in Europe and assist in developing our business relationships within and outside the Union.
