Posted By Sharon I am looking at producing a general H&S pack for our employees who are working in non EU countries. What type of information do you think I should put in besides the general H&S information?

Posted By Mitch Sharon, We put all our Technicians through the IOSH Working Safely to supplement the minimal info' they are issued with. I say minimal as with everything it has to be concise and effective the usual lone working, preparation prior to starting work and then of course monitoring travel advice and information provided by the foreign office which is updated regularly.

Posted By anon1234 There are two components to this as I see it: general health and safety requirements and country specific health and safety requirements. Assuming your business works to best practice, then the general requirements are straight forward, as 'best practice' can be adopted globally. The problem comes with identifying the peculiarities of local legislation. Hopefully most issues would already be addressed by working to best practice, but it will miss things like local licences/permits/reporting regimes/etc
