The International Health and Safety Legal Registers provide health and safety legal registers for offices and retail operations. There are over 45 country-specific Legal Registers in both English and the national language. They provide an inventory of laws and regulations that relate to health and safety within an office (administrative, sales, non-manufacturing) or retail setting, and are presented as a list of formal legal citations or references.
Each legal citation has a descriptive summary of the law or regulation. The description includes scope and objectives of the law, description of the main requirements, and potential penalties for non-compliance.
