SYSTEM PARAMETERS

Standards referred to throughout the manual imply the following:

1 The A-I SHE Shield Management System forms the framework for the development and management of client-specific systems.

2 Local legislation is regarded as the minimum statutory requirement in the establishment of the SHE management system.

3 Risk assessment and the risk profile of a company forms the foundation of the SHE management system

4 The internal framework of the SHE management system should be based on the corporate standards

5 In absence of statutory and/or corporate requirements, best practice should be used for the establishment of the SHE management system.

1 For record purposes, a lost time incident is defined as any incident that arises out of and in the course of duty resulting in any occupational illness or disease resulting in any related temporary or permanent disablement as determined by a medical practitioner. Such an incident shall furthermore be classified as lost time where one or more of the following criteria are applicable: The affected person is unable to continue with all of the tasks for which he/she

was appointed responsible and which constitute their normal work duties; The loss of one or more days or shifts following the day or shift during which the

incident occurred, inclusive of weekends and scheduled off-duty days; All fractures and amputations, irrespective of whether or not any days were lost

(with the exception of a hairline fracture which is certified by an attending physi-cian as needing no further medical treatment).

Unconsciousness, irrespective of duration, resulting from any workplace exposure or incident;

Occupational illnesses which necessitate medical treatment resulting in restricted duties or days off work; and

Compensatable occupational diseases must be recorded as a single LTI on the day of confirmation of diagnosis, irrespective of whether or not any days were lost.

2 A fatality is defined as and includes any death occurring as a result of an incident which arose out of and during an employees normal course of duty and the execution of designated work-related responsibilities.

3 A non-lost time incident is any incident arising out of and in the course of employment which does not result in lost time as defined under point 1 above.
