Question
dear friend, i live in venezuela and i need to know if there is any universal manual, or guidelines or principles or anything that helps when hse in concerned any contry you go....I mean hse principles or requirements universally accepted.
Thank you

Answer
Hi, thanks for the question, every country has its own laws and regulations regarding H&S, however in Europe most are generic under the CE rules and European regulations, in Venezuela I would imagine it will be controlled by the government of your country of which I know nothing about.

Try searching for a website in your country there should be some websites which will dedicated to H&S in your country.

H&S principles are universal however, the principles are all the same no matter which industry you are in, our country is governed by the Health & Safety Executive (www.hse.gov.uk) who have a lot of information which may help you.

I have been trained and qualified to NEBOSH standard which is the standard for H&S training in the UK, maybe there is something similar in your country, sorry I can't help you further, I hope this helps.

Best regards, Graham.
