IOSH

• IOSH is a Chartered professional membership
  organisation, that sets a competency frame work
  and standards for Health and Safety Professionals
  and prescribes levels of qualifications,
  competencies (skills and experience) and schemes
  of continuing professional development .
• This ensures that the level of advice and
  guidance given by our members is of the highest
  standard, quality and up to date with current
  legislation and good practice.
• The Rules of IOSH and therefore the competency
  requirements and grade of membership are governed
  by a Royal Charter (decree) issued by the
  Monarch .

IOSH

• IOSH is self funding from membership
  subscriptions, training courses and publishing of
  books.
• IOSH also provides free advice and guidance
  material on occupational safety and health.
• IOSH develops training and provides accreditation
  for training courses
• IOSH provides funding for research into
  occupational safety health and wellbeing.
• IOSH campaigns and lobbies the Government and

Is regulation and Management of Occupational
Safety and Health a good thing?

• UK has a good balance of Prevention and
  Protection Regulation and Management.
• It is not over prescriptive but based on risk
  assessments and what is reasonably practicable.
• There is a calculation based on the hazard, the
  severity of harm and likelihood of such harm
  occurring.
• Prevention and Protection controls need to be
  proportionate to the risk.

GB statistics for 2010/11

• 1.2 Million working people were suffering from
  work related illness
• 171 people were killed at work
• 12,000 people die each year as a result of
  occupational exposure ( latent deaths)
• 115,000 injuries resulting in 3 or more days of
  work
• 26.4 Million working days lost due to work
  related illness and work place injury

10
The Burden of these statistics

• The social cost to employees and their families
• loss of life
• life long injury/illness
• health and medical care
• loss of earning
• impact on the family
• The cost to business
• stopped production
• repair work
• damaged to equipment
• replacing staff
• retraining staff
• reputation/lost business

11
The cost to GBThe estimated cost to the economy
for work related illness and injury is around 22
billion a yearGDP for 2009 was 1,406 billion
So the cost to the economy for work related
illnessand injuries is around 1.5 of GDP!
12
The Global Cost

• 2.3 million people killed by workplace accidents
  and diseases
• 337 million workplace accidents
• 160 million people affected by occupational
  disease
• around 4 of world GDP cost of occupational
  accidents and diseases

13
Cost Saving of Good health and safety legislation
and management

• Global cost of poor health and safety is 4 of
  GDP
• UK cost of poor health and safety is 1.5 of GDP
• So if UK did not have the current legislative and
  management frame work the cost of poor health and
  safety could be as much as 4 GDP ie 56 billion
  compared to current cost of 22 billion.
• That is a saving of 35 billion or 2.5 of GDP

PDCA

• Plan Policy planning Hazard identification and
  risk assessment
• Do Implement and operation of control measures
• Check Performance assessment, input, outputs and
  outcomes
• Act review performance and plan do things need

Summary of Key points of Developing an OSHMS

• Remember management systems are not a universal
  remedy!
• Make sure the system is adapted to suit the
  organisation or company
• Focus on preventive and protection measures not
  on the system itself
• Dont forget worker participation an OSHMS
  cant work properly without communication.
• All employees at all levels of the organisation
  should be aware of what their responsibilities
  are and how they can participate.
