Does anyone have the name and contact details of an English speaking health and safety consultant?

I have a subcontractor going to do some work there and following that, some of our own staff will be going to do some work there. A gentleman on here told me I need to appoint a German consultant.

Hi Rach108, I have used these previously http://www.bad-gmbh.de/en/index.htm Provided us with a lot of support in a similar situation to yours.

Hi I have had a look at this but their website appears to be solely in German and I do not speak German.

Is anyone a consultant that is experienced with German Health and Safety? I'm now desperate as I have been unable to find anyone who will speak to me or who understands what we actually need. We have subcontractors going over next week.

Hi Rach, You could try putting some of the text on the linked website into Google translate. You will also notice a dropdown box on the site that says 'Deutschland'; if you click on this you will find a menu with links to subisdiaries, one of which is in the UK. Maybe they can help you? John

Have you tried contacting the Verein Deutsche Sicherheitsingenieure (German Association of Safety Engineers)? Try www.vdsi.de Chris
