Thank you for your excellent advice on setting up a legal registry. Thank you. You will find that some articles are very specific to a single HSE topic and/or requirement, while others are general in nature or have many different subsections related to different topics and/or requirements. In each case, name each article and the specific clause(s) related to HSE requirements and note them in the Summary worksheet. Look at some examples from Afghanistan`s registry: Hi Randall, I hope you or someone else with the same knowledge can help me, I`m updating my legal registry and under the heading SI number, I have one for example (c.456) I don`t understand what the c. represents, since some don`t have it? Admittedly, I have exaggerated the simplicity of drawing up such a register. A legal registry for Afghanistan is as simple as it is – due to the lack of laws and regulations – and yet even it takes a lot of time and effort to create. Time and complexity would increase several times for those preparing a registry from scratch for a more developed country with more comprehensive HSE laws and regulations. But if you have the time, desire and expertise, I encourage you to do it yourself, as you will learn a lot and gain considerable knowledge that will be useful to you in your career. Thank you for your valuable suggestions for the development of a legal register. Me Alex, GE Corporate`s EHS regulatory expert in the MENAT region.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages: I am currently working on the legal register of our company and I found this information very convenient. I outsourced this exercise due to time constraints, but thank you for this informative article. Namibia, Africa A CORE Legal Registry is an inventory of a country`s health and safety laws and regulations relating to a thematic area that applies to an office, retail or service sector. Laws are presented in the form of a list of formal legal citations, and each legal citation has a descriptive summary of the law or regulation. The description includes: (i) the scope and objectives of the Act and a general description of the key requirements; (ii) possible sanctions in the event of infringement; and (iii) the applicability of the law.

The register is presented in two languages (national language and English), is organised by theme, searchable by keywords, provides tailor-made reports and is also linked to the full text of the legislation on a publicly accessible website. Each country`s regulatory system is constantly evolving, so developing an HSE legal registry is certainly not a once-and-forgotten task, but one that requires regular review and updating. This means regularly checking new laws and regulations and updating the registry if necessary. Redlog offers HSE legal registration services and is of course happy to help you with your needs. However, for many small institutions and companies in developing countries in Asia, hiring consultants is often not an option due to limited HSE budgets. The first step is to develop a generic template and format for the HSE Legal Registry. There are really no restrictions on how this can happen. But my experience is that the simpler, the better.

I prefer to use an Excel spreadsheet for the registry, but they can also be written in MS Word, in a database like MS Access, or even on memory cards if you are old school! In this blog post, I`m going to walk you through a five-step process so you can develop your own HSE legal registry. We will take the example of Afghanistan and the result will be fully functional (and free!) HSE legal register in Excel format that you can download and modify for your use. And for those of you who are in Afghanistan, this registry is complete and ready so you can use it as is and it can be customized for your operations. It`s more than a blank model, in fact, it`s a complete HSE legal registry for Afghanistan. So, for those of you who are lucky enough to work in Afghanistan, feel free to use our HSE legal registry. All you have to do is adapt it (step 5) to your specific needs. For those of you in other countries, feel free to use it as a template. You can look at the Afghanistan registry to get an idea of how much detail is required. Thank you for your comments. I fully agree with your approach.

Developing your own registry is tedious and time-consuming, but I think it`s worth it as a meaningful learning experience. A third-party review is then a very good idea as an exam. In next week`s blog post, I address the issue of compliance with legal requirements, which is the natural consequence of the registry development process. Feel free to contact me at rshaw@redlogenv.com and we can continue to chat offline. Greetings. Good question and that`s the topic of next week`s blog post. In this article, we will discuss the types of implementation measures to ensure compliance and how you can perform an internal audit of HSE compliance in your institution. In this step, you identify the elements that are specific to your business and justify those that are not applicable.

Enter them in the last two columns of the Requirements worksheet. Be sure to include enough detail so that a third party can easily understand your reasons for including or excluding an item. Note that for the sake of completeness, I suggest that all HSE items be included at this point, even those that you know are not specifically applicable to your installation. Two reasons for this: (1) change the company`s processes, make changes and expand so that what is not relevant today may be relevant in the future, and (2) it is much easier to register at this point than to try to go through all the laws in the future to find out if there are other missing articles. This is very informative and provides detailed details on topics that bother EHS managers. Thank you Shaw.

However, we don`t think that means you can`t have a fully functional HSE legal registry that meets your needs.

Finally, in some cases, international agreements can also have a direct impact on companies` HSE requirements, so don`t forget to identify those that have been ratified by your country (see these previous blog posts for an overview of these agreements: What Asian companies need to know about international OSH treaties and what Asian companies need to know about multilateral environmental agreements). Will any help prevent my retina from burning when I try to find that answer? Excel can be divided into spreadsheets. I propose that one worksheet („Summary“) be used to list the laws, regulations and other HSE legislative and policy documents, and the other worksheet („Requirements“) for the requirements associated with each of these acts. Keep in mind that relevant HSE laws and regulations are often not limited to national labor or environmental agencies, but can also be incorporated into the legislation of other government agencies, such as ministries of oil and gas, mining, water resources, public health, etc.
