Introduction• Safety and health management systems can
greatly reduce the number and severity of work-related accidents and illnesses.
• Managers and employees can work together to identify workplace hazards and potentially dangerous conditions.
• Take a proactive approach: develop and implement processes, procedures and programs that are preventative.
• The benefits: fewer lost work days, lower workers' compensation costs and higher employee morale and productivity
What is a SHMS?
• A safety and health management system (SHMS) provides an organized approach to manage and reduce safety and health hazards.
What is a SHMS?
• Example Elements
– Occupational safety & Health
– Hazard identification and risk control
– Operational control
– Emergency preparedness and response
– Employee training
– Management review
– Continuous system evaluation and improvement
What is a SHMS?
There are four main components of an SHMS:
(1) Management Leadership
(2) Worksite Analysis
(3) Hazard Prevention and Control
(4) Safety and Health Training
Does your OH&S Policy
• Clearly states overall OH&S objectives
• Authorised by top management
• Appropriate to nature & scale of OH&S risks
• Documented, implemented, and maintained
• Communicated to all employees
• Available to interested parties
• Reviewed periodically
OH&S Planning
• Hazard identification, risk assessment, and
risk control
• Legal and other requirements
• Objectives
• OH&S management program(s)
Hazard Identification, Risk
Assessment & Risk Control
• Conceptually similar to environmental
aspects and impacts –target of
management program(s)
• Assessment must address:
– routine and non-routine activities
– all personnel, including contractors and visitors
– facilities at the workplace, whether provided by
the organization or by others
Hazard Identification, Risk
Assessment & Risk Control
• Methodology must be proactive
– in advance of process/equipment changes
– allow engineering of hazard controls during
design
– implementation of controls as change occurs
• Success requires strong Management of
Change (MOC) procedure
Hazard Identification, Risk
Assessment & Risk Control
• Process overview
– identification of hazards
– evaluation of risks under current controls
– evaluation of the tolerability of residual risk
– identification of needed additional controls
• People are involved
– significant risks must be controlled
– individual behaviour is a significant factor
Implementation & Operation
• Structure and responsibilities
• Training awareness and competence
• Consultation and communication
• Documentation
• Document and data control
• Operational control
• Emergency preparedness and response
Structure & Responsibilities
• Documented roles, responsibilities,
authorities, and accountability
• Management appointee responsible for
implementation
• Resources
• Managers must demonstrate commitment
to continual improvement
Training, Awareness &
Competence
• Ensure employee awareness and
competence
• Take into account differing levels of:
– Responsibility
– Ability
– Literacy
– Risk
• Much of required training driven by
regulation
Operational Control
• Identify operations and activities where risk
requires further control
• Plan these to ensure that
– documented procedures are developed
– operating criteria specify key steps and
requirements
– procedures addressing risks related to
contractor goods and services
– establish design procedures to
reduce/eliminate source of risks
Emergency Preparedness &
Response
• Emergency response procedures to
address
– identifying potential for incidents and
emergencies
– preventing and mitigating resultant illnesses and
injuries
– responding to incidents and emergencies when
they occur.
Checking & Corrective Action
• Performance measurement and monitoring
• Accidents, incidents, non-conformances
and corrective and preventive action
• Records and records management
• OH&S management system audit
Quantitative & Qualitative
• Direct Quantitative Measures
– number of lost work days following an injury
– decibel levels of noise in a work area
• Indirect Qualitative Measures
– review of inspection logs
– observation of a task
– interviews
Proactive & Reactive Measures
• Proactive monitoring of compliance
– routine basis, independent of any event
– monitoring may be required by regulations
• daily equipment checks
• periodic review of hot-work permits
• Reactive monitoring of accidents or
incidents
– in response to an event or trigger
• accident investigation
• monitoring in response to a complaint
Accident, Incidents, Non-conformances
& Corrective and Preventive Action
• Handle, investigate, mitigate
– Accidents
– Incidents
– non-conformances
• Corrective and preventive actions
• Review action plans through risk
assessment process
Accident, Incidents & Non-
conformances
• Handle = immediate action
– Notification
– emergency response
– recordkeeping to facilitate investigation
• Investigation process
– team and procedures
– root cause analysis
• People are involved
– human elements
Corrective and Preventive Action
• Correct immediate problem
• Mitigate consequences
• Eliminate or control root cause
• Prevent recurrence
• Review action plans through risk
assessment process
• Communicate results and monitor
Records & Record Management
• Identification, maintenance, and
disposition
• Records must be:
– Legible
– Identifiable
– traceable to the activities involved
– easily retrievable
– protected from damage, deterioration, or loss
– held for specified and documented retention times
• Identify regulatory requirements –
compliance to local and national laws.
• Identify hazards and risks – pertinent to
current work activities.
• Manage risks – introduce controls to manage
risks to as low as reasonably practicable
(ALARP).
PURPOSE OF
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
* Plan
Assess risk, identify applicable regulations
* Do
Identify responsibility and accountability, training, communicate, control and prepare for emergencies.
* Check
Monitor, Record, Audit (Check, Examination, Review,Assessment)
* Act to improve
OH&S
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
TERMS AND DEFINITION
• RISK ASSESSMENT– Overall process of estimating
the magnitude of risk and deciding whether or not the risk is tolerable
• SAFETY– Freedom from unacceptable
risk of harm
• TOLERABLE RISK
– Risk that has Commitmentd to a level that can be endured by the organization having regard to its legal obligations an its own OH&S policy
•Activities shall include routine and non-
routine of all personnel having access to work
place or it facilities including subcontractors
and visitors.
•Results of assessments must be documented
and kept up to date ( in the event of new
equipment or change of process).
PLANNING
1. Relevant to job activity.
2. Proactive rather than reactive. Need to
uncover hazards.
3. Able to classify risks.
4. Risks can be identified, controlled or
eliminated. Control measures need to be
specified.
Methodology For Hazard Identification And
Risk Assessment
How can we succeed ?
1. Management must give endorsement.
2. Set performance standards – use industry and current legal standards.
3. Education and Training – provide training to the risk assessment sub-committee members.
How can we succeed ?
4. Task selection (prioritize) – Take action on job activities with the highest risks.
5. Group involvement – Risk assessment sub-committee is to submit their findings to the OSH Committee. OSH Committee to submit to management for approval.
6. Documented, acted upon and reviewed.
