Abstract |
In autumn of 2004 an exploratory study was conducted into working with foreign contractors and personnel in process industries in Northern Netherlands. Ten qualitative interviews were held with safety experts working at multinational companies. The study resulted in the identification of five problematic areas: communication, level of education, cultural differences, specific employment situations and cooperation between principal and contractor. The results of the interviews are described for each problem area individually and are linked to state of the art scientific theory and models. Examples of best practices are included. |
