Spanish term

FSO

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Hazard Prevention in the workplace
This acronym appears several times in a list of documentation required by a company to ensure safety in the workplace as follows:

o Declaración cumplimiento de Requisitos en Materia de Prevención. FSO/09.01/C
o Nombramiento de Encargado de Prevención (FSO/09.03/C).
o Autorización de subcontratistas (FSO/09.02C).

I'm not sure what is being referred to here and if there are standard translations for these documents.

The company is a construction company so I've ruled "Food Safety Objective" out!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. When I asked the client I was told that this was an internal acronym that was used within the company itself to refer to policies, so was not to be translated. Thanks again for your help!

Sorry, I forgot to add source and target country details for this question - it's Spanish from Spain for UK English.
Ronnie McKee Sep 28, 2006:
What country does the source document pertain to, or better what country is it written for? I think that could be important to deciphering the acronyms

You could explore this possibility I've just found, in the context of OSHA (OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION)

I'm fairly certain the FSO in the address above is what you want, I just haven't got time to delve further and find out exactly what it means!

Se trata de un sistema de gestión de ficheros muy generalizado.

The FileSystem Object is the object that is used to manipulate the filesystem in Active Server Pages. Moving files, opening and reading text files, and looking at drive space are a few of the many functions of the FileSystem Object.

I hope it helps.
