Bibliographic information European Commission, DG Employment and Social Affairs, Health, Safety and Hygiene at Work, Jean Monnet Building, 2920 Luxembourg, Nov. 2005. Approx 470p. Illus.
Abstract The national labour inspectorates of the European Union Member States have responsibility for enforcing occupational safety and health legislation. This guide deals with the way in which these inspectorates carry out this responsibility in view of the wide differences in labour laws and social security regulations. For each of the 25 Member States, the guide describes the scope of responsibilities, organizational structure, assigned resources and working methodologies of the labour inspectorates. Links to chapters (in English, French and German) devoted to the labour inspectorates in individual states can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/health_safety/slic_en.htm.
