Billh Jun 27, 2013:
Yes, it's just that it struck me the other day that these things are being combined these days. Just a passing comment.
Neil Ashby Jun 27, 2013:
@ Bill Legislation depends on your country ;)

Occupational health and H & S in the workplace should be and are two different things - aren't they? e.g. you may work in the safest nuclear power plant in the world, with extremely strict regulations etc.... (H&S 10 out of 10). However, due to the nature of your job you may be handling radioactive material (even if in an extremely safe manner that wouldn't cause an accident) which means your long-term, occupational exposure / health could receive a rather lower score :)

the consolidated ...... report

They keep repeating consolidated but that's what it means I think. It's consolidated Occ. Health and Safety.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about this the other day. In the past, occupational health and health and safety at work were treated as different topics but in the last year or so they are being treated together. Maybe a change in legislation.

In the huge number of references to this field in documents I have translated there are two basic concepts which appear again and again:

seguridad y salud en el trabajo (Health and Safety at Work) and
prevención de riesgos laborales (Occupational Risk Prevention)

The second one is really a subset of the first but when I say they seem to be treated together these days I mean that where there were once provisions in contracts dealing with these separately they seem to be merged these days.

Prevention covers a multitude of sins from employee medical checks to mandatory risk assessments by position etc. I think that when the talk of 'consolidated reports' here they are really lumping all these things into one concept which is Occupational Health and Safety......

eg
HISPÁNICA PREVENCIÓN, es una empresa fundada en el año 1.996 por un grupo de profesionales altamente cualificados en el ámbito de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo y dedicada como objeto social a la ingeniería de prevención de riesgos laborales en el sector de construcción.

neutral philgoddard : The only problem with this is that we've had "report" in the previous sentence.

yes it's a consolidated report. pleeeezzzzzzz
agree Charles Davis : Plainly "el consolidado" means "el informe consolidado", and I don't see any alternative to repeating "report" in English (you can hardly say "the consolidated one"). S&SO (Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional) basically means HSW, I think.

Exactly - Thanks - See additional explanation.
agree Mary Lore : Completely agree, I see "consolidado" a lot in Colombian documents such as this. I concur with Charles; report has to be repeated.

summary

Literally a consolidated version. Here's another example:

EL DIRECTOR GENERAL DE PROTECCIÓN CIVIL PRESENTA EL CONSOLIDADO DE AFECTACIONES CAUSADAS POR LLUVIAS
El Secretario para Asuntos de Vulnerabilidad y Director General de Protección Civil, Lic. Jorge Antonio Meléndez, presenta a la población el cuadro que consolida las diferentes tipos de afectaciones, causadas por lluvias en diferentes sectores del Territorio Nacional, desde el 10 de junio a esta fecha.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Billh : No, it's a consolidated report. It does not mean summary....// Of course, pleased to, consolidated means it combines the two areas in one report, summary means it just summarises the provisions of the full report.// Occ. Health, and H&S at Work.
25 mins
Perhaps you can explain the difference, as it's too subtle for my limited intellect. //What two areas? What full report?

consolidated activities

el contexto señala que es un informe mensual, que presenta el consolidado de la gestion de la S&SO, que se puede considerar como la agrupacion de las actividades que realiza la S&SO, a menos que el cliente requiera que no exista variacion en la redaccion del documento

the (consolidated) analysis/evaluation

This is my solution. It is clearly an analysis/evaluation, since it includes identification of shortcomings and recommended solutions. The word "consolidado" here could mean that which is most essential in the information at hand, this being presented in the analysis/evaluation.
