Enviro Conventions

I thought a good topic for today could be the Environmental Conventions that everyone accationally foegets about; but are useally a WELL of resources regarding the country you are working in; reasearching etc.




First off the IFC:



Now if you dont already have a set of their guidelines its vital that you get your hands on them. They are helpful and full of useful ways to make SHEQ easy to use.

Second, the World Bank:



Filled with useful resources on almost ANY topic. Good for a browse and gaining some interesting information that can only benefit any project you are completeting

Third up we have WHO (World Health Organisation) Filled with information pertaining to the Occpational health and safety as well as guidelines you may need of researching water topics; its a gem of reseasources......

There are some other great links that come around too. Like if you are speciafically looking for companies that may be able to help in your field etc; this is a great global resource center.
