The Netherlands - because of the innovative approaches that appear to be in use in relation both to m aging chemical risks and in OHS more widely. Also because in many respects it represents a hybrid of Nordic and Germanic approaches to labour relations and to regulating OHS (as well as being influenced by British pragmatism and the recommendations of the Robens Committee). 

Germany - because of its size, economic importance and complexity, its dual system for OHS regulation, its approach to labour relations and its long history of setting and using exposure limits.

Under 6(c) the relevant considerations are the safety record of the contractor, whether there is a record of good labour relations, good management procedures and no evidence of slack site control. Is the contractor likely to adhere to the declared erection scheme so that the structure is built as-designed ... 

Additional management may be required for specialist functions such as labour relations, the control and maintenance of construction equipment, and the supervision of rigging and welding, or these may be part of the overhead structure of contractors. And as for any other aspect of project management, the theory of limiting returns is applicable in determining the optimum input. 

The initial employment legislation, which was mainly concerned with the control of relationships on the shop floor, the role of the union representative and basic conditions of employment, was the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974. But this was overtaken by the Employment Protection Act 1975 which added considerably to the degree of protection afforded to employees in their employment. In turn, this Act was superseded by the... 

Part I of this Act provides for secret ballots to be held for the election to certain offices in trade unions and Part II relates to the holding of secret ballots before industrial action is taken.

Mr G. R. Brueton, Consulting Engineer Construction work is essentially team work, the team comprising the clients, engineers, safety officers, operatives and construction workers, each of whom has an important contribution to make. To obtain the close co-operation necessary good labour relations must be maintained, the construction workers and the team as a whole must be properly educated to deal with problems of safety, and the workers must be considered and accepted and treated as equal members of the team, well briefed in the work and the necessity of measures or the sequence of operations intended or projected.
