I am one of OCC-HEALTH' mail list members, and
looking for the legal standsards of industrial injuries disablement in the
UK in terms of
occuaptional health. Do you or your colleagues have any idea about this? I
could not find
it on web, and do know how to post this message through the mail list;
therefore, I have
to pass this message to you individually.
Thanks for your attention.
