The Road to an International Occupational Health & Safety Management System Standard

ISO 45001

Presentation TitleDate or Event Slide 2

Introduction

June 2013, a New Work Item Proposal to establish an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) was approved by ISO creating Project Committee 283 (PC 283)

September 2013, a U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the ISO PC 283 established

The scope is to develop a global occupational health and safety (OH&S) standard to provide effective, real-world solutions for worker safety. This is historic work to protect not only America’s workers, but also that of the global workforce. It will continue to shape the H&S profession and directly impact how we manage and deliver health and safety both in and out of the workplace.


The most compelling reason for an ISO OHSMS

UK’s Health and Safety Executive has the following data for 2010/11:

• 1.2 million working people were suffering from a work related illness

• 175 workers killed at work

• 115000 injuries were reported

• 200000 reportable injuries (over 3 day absence) occurred

• 26.4 million working days were lost due to work related illness and workplace injury

• Workplace injuries and ill health (excluding cancer) cost society an estimated $22.8

billion (in 2009/10)

Similarly, the figures from the 2005 statistics released at the 17th World Congress on Safety and Health at Work showed that 2.2 million workers were fatally injured as the result of a work-related accident, which was an increase of 10 % from three years previously. The figures equate to around 6,000 cases per day.

This comes from the NWIP. Would like to update this with global or U.S. Data


NWIP Scope of the proposed deliverable

This International Standard specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, to enable an organization to control its OH&S risks and improve its OH&S performance. It does not state specific OH&S performance criteria, nor does it give detailed specifications for the design of a management system. This International Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:

a)establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimize risks to personnel and other interested parties who could be exposed to OH&S hazards associated with its activities;

b)implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S mgmt system;

c)assure itself of its conformity with its stated OH&S policy;

d)demonstrate conformity with this International Standard.


NWIP Scope of the proposed deliverable

The International Standard is intended to provide organizations with the elements of an effective OHSMS that can help

organizations achieve OH&S and economic objectives. alignment the revisions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and the application of

Annex SL, Appendix 2 of the Supplement to ISO Directives Part 1 (High level structure, identical core text and common terms and core definitions for use in Management Systems Standards)

requirements that can be incorporated into any OH&S management system. The extent of the application will depend on such factors as the OH&S policy of the organization, the nature of its activities and the risks and complexity of its operations.

This International Standard is not intended to address other health and safety areas such as employee wellbeing/wellness programs, product safety, property damage or environmental impacts.
