I just re-read the charter of this maillist; I _think_ this response
just qualifies. (If anyone interprets differently, my apologies, email
me privately, please let's not compound with "reply-all" to the list.)
Not specific to safety, but our host has recently published:
"1997 IEEE US Membership Salary & Fringe Benefit Survey"
Apparently includes info on income and benefits vs education, function,
area, industry, etc. List price quoted $99.95 (+tax etc); members'
price $64.95 until May 15. Order# UH2966-QJS. IEEE Service Center, Cust
Svc Dept, 445 Hoes Ln, PO Box 1331, Piscatawy NJ 08855-9916.
Also, I think the AEA (American Electronics Association, which
represents companies [i.e., employers]) also publishes a survey. Maybe
a good library could locate these and other publications?

On another matter, here's how to SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE to this list,
for the many who have apparently forgotten, and whose mail software
(e.g., cc:Mail) arbitarily removes the header info. Hope it helps.

EMC-PSTC Regulatory E-Mail Grapevine
====================================
Charter and Guidelines
10 March 1995
The EMC-PSTC is an informal group of people interested in Product
Safety regulations and standards world-wide, networked electronically
by mailing list. Its purpose is to provide a forum for the sharing of
public, but possibly obscure Product Safety or Regulatory Compliance
information, or related information with limited natural distribution.
All mail sent to the Internet address will be immediately echoed to
everyone on the list by an automated list server.
DISCLAIMER: All postings are the sole responsibility of the message
originators. The IEEE PSTC and its volunteers, staff members and
members of the PSN staff do not assure the correctness or viability of
any information distributed by the list server, nor accepts any
responsibility for the use of any distributed information.
MESSAGE CONTENT GUIDELINES:
1. Correspondence should be limited to information or queries
relating to Product Safety or Regulatory Compliance standards only.
Any information should not be confidential or in any way proprietary.
Please don't use the EMC-PSTC for simple correspondence - Private
correspondence should be addressed directly, unless it has broad
appeal or interest.
2. Blatant or overt advertising of goods or services is not
permitted. The list server is provided as a service by the IEEE, whose
policies prohibit anything that might be construed as conflict of
interest.
Exceptions:
a) Short, non-promotional "trailers" or signature lines for the
sole purpose of identifying the sender and the sender's
organization.
b) Answers to queries about goods or services, where the intent
of the answer is to inform, but not promote. (When in
doubt, send the questioner a private message.)
c) This guideline is specific to the use of the this list
server, and in no way inhibits individuals from contacting
members privately and independently.
3. Posting of job openings is OK so long as they are short (i.e., 1
paragraph), non-commercial (no agencies or headhunters - no fees
involved), infrequent (about one out of every 10 messages or less),
and contain an off-EMC-PSTC contact name and phone number or e-mail
address. Same goes for jobs-wanted (if you can fit your resume into
one paragraph!).
4. Using key words in the title or subject line will assist members
who archive the message traffic and may wish to search it later.
Suggested keywords include: SPACINGS, SHOCK HAZARD, or a country name
(where the information is country-specific).
5. Queries or requests for information should be focused and brief.
Respondents should be careful about endorsements - When in doubt,
don't.
