Environment and Safety

Management

Safety management It is an organizational function, which ensures that all safety risk have

been identified, assessed and satisfactorily mitigated.

Objectives:

Systematic way of identifying hazard and control risk while maintaining

assurance that these risk controls are effective.

To prevent human injury or loss of life and avoid damage to

environment and to property.

Reactive Safety Management The approach is useful when dealing with technological failures or unusual events.

a) the focus in the compliance with the minimum safety requirements.

b) the level of safety is based on reported safety occurences.

Proactive Safety Management - (identifying hazard before they

materialize into accidents or incidents)

a) safety policy

b) hazard identification and risk assessment

c) safety reporting

d) investigation of safety occurences

e) safety monitoring and oversight

. f) safety training for personnel

g) safety lesson dessimination

h) building a safety culture

There are three imperatives for adopting a safety management system

for a business these are ethical, legal and financial.

There is an implied moral obligation placed on an employer to ensure

that work activities and the place of work to be safe, there are

legislative requirements defined in just about every jurisdiction on how

this is to be achieved and there is a substantial body of research which

shows that effective safety management (which is the reduction of risk

in the workplace) can reduce the financial exposure of an organization

by reducing direct and indirect costs associated with accident and

incidents.

To address these three important elements, an effective SMS should:

a) define how the organization is set up to manage risk.

b) identify workplace risk and implement suitable controls.

c) implement effective communications across all levels of the

organization.

d) implement a process to identify and correct non-conformities.

e) implement a continual improvement process.

Basic safety-management components Although other SMS models use different terminology, the process

and workflow for safety management systems is always the same;

1. Policy Establish within policy statements what the requirements are for the organization in terms of resources, defining

management commitment and defining OSH targets

2.Organizing How is the organization structured, where are responsibilities and accountabilities defined, who reports to who

and who is responsible for what.

3.Planning and Implementation What legislation and standards apply to our organization, what OSH objectives are defined and how

are these reviews, hazard prevention and the assessment and

management of risk.

4.Evaluation How is OSH performance measured and assessed, what are the processes for the reporting of accidents and incidents

and for the investigation of accidents and what internal and

external audit processes are in place to review the system.

5. Action for Improvement How are preventative and corrective actions managed and what processes are in place to ensure the

continual improvement process. There is a significant amount of

detail within each of these sections and these should be examined

in detail from the ILO-OSH Guidelines document.

requirements

Written Program

Respirator Selection Respirators shall be selected on the basis of the potential hazards to

which the worker is exposed. Factor considered

Chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of the contaminant(s). Review of actual and potential hazards to assess extent of injurious

effects produced under all conditions of potential exposure. Evaluation of the duties to be performed by the wearer as they relate

to restriction of movement and duration of potential exposure. Respiratory equipment selected will be those approved by NIOSH/MSHA

Medical evaluations of employees required to use respirators Prior to the assignment of respiratory protection, the associates health

must be evaluated by a physician Company physician will complete Medical Assessment Questionnaire SES provides information for the medical staff on the type of respirator to

be worn, the circumstances in which the associate will wear the respirator

Written Program
