Hi

I've just started a role managing Health and Safety and Business Continuity Management in 15 Countries. Can anyone recommend some good international reference sources? I'm implementing OHSAS 18001 for the H&S Management System, but I would like to understand the key legislative differences in the following countries:

- USA
- Spain
- Finland
- China
- Denmark
- Sweden
- Germany
- Italy
- India
- Hong Kong
- France
- Benelux
- Singapore
- Switzerland

I'm also very keen to network with anyone else operating in these countries.

Look forward to hearing from you and happy New Year.

Dave

The new edition of the Ferret & Hughes NEBOSH Certificate text book (available from HSE books, HMSO and other bookshops) has a section on International H&S. From memory it features dodgy foreign scafolding - but has lots more as well, probably. If you want an ISBN no or some more considered comments email me on rpj@jones.co.uk

There are a wealth of links from the Specialist Group/International webpage, specifically compiled to gave those in your position a helpful start.

Also International SG exists partly to link IOSH members, and others, facing such challenges.

Its not cheap, but the best source of international EHS legislation can be found at ENHESA.
