Enthusiasm

I’ve read about globalization. I’ve talked about globalization. I’ve done reports on globalization in college. But until now, I’ve never really faced a serious globalization challenge that blindsided me. When asked to work on a report for BP, I was given the specifications laid out for “CHIP” labeling as designated by HSE.GOV.UK. This specification didn’t seem very complicated until I started getting into the specifics of it. Suddenly I was face to face with a challenge that still I don’t have a clear answer for. The specification given by the HSE says that the sample label is merely a guide and to use good judgment; that the “leaflet contains notes on good practice which are not compulsory”. In the USA, we are used to HMIS bars and NFA diamonds, but neither I nor anyone here has any clue about European labeling norms. For all we know, the two column positioning of pictograms is significant or it could be merely trivial. It’s quite interesting how little things like this could slip by you unless you are keeping an open mind about it.
