Country Profiles
Each profile is a narrative description of how Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) regulations apply to industry. These narratives are typically 60 to 70 pages in length and are updated annually. They are industry generic and begin with an introduction to the Country, to the regulatory system, and to the competent authorities who enforce its regulations.
Additional chapters follow dealing with major topical areas. The country profile is designed to provide essential information about regulations in each country. Its concise and hard hitting format makes it an ideal tool for understanding the essential issues of local compliance.
