Norwegian term or phrase: sentralt
I imagine someone will come along with a suggestion that has me (a former corporate risk manager) slapping my forehead in self-recrimination. I wait eagerly for that moment. From an HSE handbook for a retail chain:

"Det vises for øvrig til HMS-kalenderen sentralt."

Asker: You may be on to something. A later example reads: "Sikkerhetsleder fører avvikslogg og rapporterer status til  Sikkerhetsleder kjeden sentralt." Thanks! (I used to report laterally to one such "central" manager.)

Explanation:
If it's a company, could you use "refer to the company's/group's HSE calendar of events"

Asker: Thanks, another good suggestion. If I were using US English for this job, it would be a simple task to revert to "corporate" for all these matters. I'm thinking "group" might indeed be the way to go here.
