Legal influences Administration

In the United States, many of the regulations to do with the safety of process facilities are written and enforced by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). It is often found that OSHA s rules and the interpretation of those rules are used internationally, even when there is no legal requirement to do so. The U.K. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is another regulatory agency whose influence often extends beyond its own immediate jurisdiction.
