Re: SA8000 - Have You heard Of It?
Hi fellas, just want to update this thread. SA 8000 standard is alive and kicking here in the Philippines. A big Japanese electronics company here required their suppliers to align themselves to the SA 8000 standard before the end of 2007.
Cheers!

Here in Brasil our state owned Petroleum company (Petrobras) tried to "oblige" all of their key suppliers into certifying SA 8000 but then discovered themselves that they could not certify since the working hours on the oil platforms where in direct violation of 7.1 Working Hours.... so they backed off and only certified refining and extraction (one in the middle of the Amazon Forest) that where on land.

Interesting information. This is a typical example of problems we run into when a management system standard includes quantitative performance measures. Having a requirement to limit "normal work week" to a maximum of 48 hours will work in most of the situations in the developed world, but, like in the case of people who work in remote sites, such as an offshore platform, does not "jive".
