Paul,
Interesting and reflective article in April's Health & Safety Bulletin
307:pp13-18 "OH: safety's poor relation?"
It is somewhat HSE focused and examines the willingness for inspectors
to tackle OH issues, the demise of EMAS numbers, examines enforcement
notices by regulation (in short looks at institutional indifference?)
and debates the need for HSE inspectors to be more involved with
industry based nurses (in all contacts with an employer - not just on OH
issues).
Interestingly this is very much the focus of French H&S regulation with
government doctors acting as 'HSE equivalent' general and specialist
inspectors and onsite OH nurses, mandated by law, acting as the eyes and
ears of the government 'works doctor'.
Good luck.
Lorenzo.
