Finding supporters

Whilst journeying to Fort DIN, the OSH knights of the Standards Table have already endeavoured to make their case for the standardized knight's helmet and to ask others about their experience. They now take the opportunity to stop at a market and to present the idea to a larger group of people. The blacksmiths and the traders in knight's helmets, in particular, show a keen interest. Before the OSH knights and ladies leave the market, they post a proclamation on the EUROSHNET tree: anyone wanting to support the standardized knight's helmet is requested to contact them.

Before a standard can be developed at European level, at least five countries must declare their willing-ness to work on it. EUROSHNET, (www.euroshnet.eu) the European network for occupational safety and health experts, is useful during the search for countries willing to lend their support. If sufficient European supporters are not found, a purely national standard can be developed.
