Regulators
Regulators only deal with their own Countries - they do not comment on what a company does abroad. There are, of course, many regulators in each country. Here are a few which can be useful information sources:

Health and Safety Executive (UK)
- www.hse.gov.uk
Although HSE has generally tended to prefer constructive engagement with offending companies rather than prosecution, in 1999 it began listing its prosecutions on the web at www.hse-databases.co.uk/prosecutions/

Environment Agency (UK)
- www.environment-agency.gov.uk
The EA, too, has recently adopted a policy of publishing company names - this time of both saints and sinners. See the 1 999 report (published July 2000) at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/envinfo/spotlight/spotrep.pdf. Prosecutions are also press- released by the agency.

Occupational Health and Safety Administration (USA)
- www.osha.gov
The website has a page of data on inspections carried out by the OSHA, and recorded accidents, which you can search by company name (‘establishment’) or by industry (using the SIC (standard industrial classification) code -there is a link to help you find the SIC you want). Accidents have short descriptions of what happened. Search results are presented in a table, including a column for the number of violations discovered; but there is no qualitative information, and no description of offences (beyond broad categories), so it can be somewhat opaque. Perhaps the best way to use it is as a starting point, to find out when violations occurred, and then to search elsewhere for more detail on these.

European Commission Competition Regulation
- http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/index_en.html
The most useful part is the mergers section, which studies market share and market power of companies in,olved in major mergers. If a company you are interested-in has been involved in a recent merger or acquisition, this site can give you useful market intelligence on that company, in those markets relevant to the merger. Click the <cases> link, and search by company name. Also of possible use is the anti-trust cases section, although there's not a similar easy way to search this.
