Hi
I am currently analysing material from Inspectors. These are in particual those inspecting work environment and occupational health and safty. A major problem is that thouh the exist in almost every country, they seem to have many different names: OHS inspectors, Regulatory Inspectors, regular officers etc. What is mostly used in Europe?
I seem to have dificoulties finding literature about thier work - any recommendations?
Hi Emma,
Partly, the different names out there across Europe has to be more with the national legislation by each country, the EU only provides the minimum requirements, thus, the titles change from country to country based on duties, responsibilities and the Minister supervising these activities (Labour, Economy, etc). I suggest to check the following websites:
https://www.ilo.org/safework/lang--en/index.htm
https://oshwiki.eu/wiki/Workplace_minimum_requirements_and_EU_OSH_legislation#Workplace_minimum_requirements_and_EU_OSH_legislation
http://www.who.int/occupational_health/about/en/
Or you can check for specific European countries: https://osha.europa.eu/en/safety-and-health-legislation/national-legislation-safety-and-health-work
Cheers,
“Occupational health and safety specialist and technician“ is the term used in the United States. You may include those terms as well.
Are those the external ones inspecting workplaces. I would think they were specialists at the workplace. In Sweden we have specialist at workplaces, responsible for OHS toghether with union representatives. At least in larger companies. Gulzar Shah
