    Default Acronym dictionary

    Is there an acronym dictionary somewhere online.? I have just come across "WHS" and thought it was time to try and find out what it meant. There are a few others, in particular the acronym for your wife.

    Regards

    OH&S, Occupational Health and Safety, has been replaced by WHS, Work Health and Safety (or Workplace Health and Safety). This is the name of the legislation (the 'Act') in NSW. You will see it more often in the coming years as people get used to using it instead of OH&S.

    Handy dictionary there.

    It misses out on the best acronym.

    TLA = three letter acronym.

    I think we need our own ljst, if only to stop those elitist pen turners hiding their secret fancy timbers from the rest of us.

    Not sure I am getting the help I am looking for

    I should probably start collecting acronyms and add to this thread whenever I find a new one.

    So to kick it off:

    SWMBO = she who must be obeyed
    WHS = Workplace Health Safety (new term for OH & S)

    Regards
