The Road to an International Occupational Health

The Road to an International Occupational Health
Safety Management System Standard ISO
45001U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO
Project Committee 283Updated on 1/29/2014
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 (OHS) standard to provide
  effective, real-world solutions for worker
  safety.  This is historic work to protect not
  only Americas workers, but also that of the
  global workforce.  It will continue to shape the
  HS profession and directly impact how we manage
  and deliver health and safety both in and out of
  the workplace.

Background

• Prior attempts for passage 3 prior failed
  attempts for an ISO OHSMS standard
• The British Standards Institute instead, begins
  work on 8800 eventually leading to the work of
  the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment
  Series (OHSAS) Project Group on OHSAS18001
  Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
  1999
• The OHSAS "Standards and Certificates Survey" has
  shown a rapid rise in the rate of use of OHSAS
  18001 and equivalent standards such as the ANSI
  Z10 OHSMS over the past 10 years
• OHSMS standards are now being used in 127
  countries around the world with over 100,000
  certificates issued

4
The most compelling reason for an ISO OHSMS
This comes from the NWIP. Would like to update
this with global or U.S. Data

• UKs 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.

The benefits of an effective OHSMS

• Ultimately the widespread use of effective OHS
  management
• systems will benefit society by
• reducing the number of incidents and accidents
• reducing disruptions to operational processes
• reducing the need for emergency medical care
  provision
• reducing the need for long term care for those
  unable to return to work following an accident
• preventing the removal of people from the
  workforce
• reducing the costs of incidents and accidents or
  of disruptions.

6
NWIP Scope of the proposed deliverable

• This International Standard specifies
  requirements for an occupational health and
  safety (OHS) management system, to enable an
  organization to control its OHS risks and
  improve its OHS performance. It does not state
  specific OHS 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
• establish an OHS management system to eliminate
  or minimize risks to personnel and other
  interested parties who could be exposed to OHS
  hazards associated with its activities
• implement, maintain and continually improve an
  OHS mgmt system
• assure itself of its conformity with its stated
  OHS policy
• demonstrate conformity with this International
  Standard.

7
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 OHS
  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
  OHS management system. The extent of the
  application will depend on such factors as the
  OHS 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.

The benefits of implementing an OHSMS

• Common governance, policy and practice benchmarks
  across geographical boundaries, including
  different countries, cultures and jurisdictions
• Ability to meet regulatory requirements,
  including accountability, ethical and corporate
  governance requirements regulatory compliance
  and practice audits
• Enables compliance with national and
  international legislation and codes of conduct
• Support of risk management, including emergency
  planning, and implementation
• Shows a commitment to improved OHS performance
• Ability to set and assess performance measures
  for the use of contract service providers, and
  for inclusion in commercial contracts
• Significant reductions in the number of OHS
  incidents and accidents, including a reduction in
  associated costs
• Significant reductions in the cost of disruptions
  to operations

36
The benefits of implementing an OHSMS

• Reduced insurance premiums
• Use of an OHS MSS that integrates with other MSS
• Enables a coordinated, consistent and integrated
  approach to establishing policy, objectives,
  targets and implementation techniques across an
  organization thereby minimizing duplication,
  redundancy, and incompatible processes
• Use of an OHS management system standard for
  measuring conformity shows commitment to the
  wellbeing of workers, neighbors and visitors, as
  well as to organizational governance,
  accountability and integrity
• Scalable use of an internationally accepted
  system to meet business needs, resource
  availability and risk
• Facilitation of communication between different
  countries on shared issues, and a forum for
  articulating common principles, minimum and best
  practice.
• the establishment of peer review and other
  monitoring (audits) systems including provision
  of training, certification and accreditation
  services
• the establishment of formal complaints handling
  processes by the certification and accreditation
  bodies (through the use of ISO/IEC 17021)
