Designing and Implementing an Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OHSMS) for the Workplace
Course Description
Providing a safe workplace for employees is the fundamental
responsibility of employers. Workers must be protected from workplace injuries
and illnesses. Experience has shown that successful health and safety management
results from establishing processes that address the multiple facets of safety
within the context of a management system. Indeed, a British
specification for a performance-based occupational health and safety management
system (OHSAS 18001) has recently been developed. It is compatible with ISO 9001
for quality management systems and ISO 14001 for environmental management
systems and is the likely forerunner of an international standard.
This course describes an Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OHSMS) tailored for US organizations and provides instruction
on how to design and implement one for your organization. OHSMS developers must
understand workplace hazards which are described in the course. A discussion is
also provided of the workplace human factors that influence occupational health
and safety, and how to integrate human factors considerations into the OHSMS.
A key part of the OHSMS is assessing the workplace hazards
present. Historically, Job Safety Analysis (JSA) has been used for this purpose.
It focuses on the jobs and tasks performed by employees in order to identify and
manage the hazards posed by them. A newer method, Direct Hazard Analysis (DHA),
focuses on the hazards and analyzes the various ways they can be realized. DHA
provides a more detailed analysis than JSA and also usually involves a risk
ranking of the potentially hazardous situations identified which can be used to
prioritize action items. The stages and steps in performing JSA and DHA are
described in detail with examples provided throughout. The use of the results of
JSA and DHA to reduce workplace risk is explained. Attendees will participate in
workshop sessions to gain experience using the methods.
The course concludes with instruction on how to use
behavioral safety methods in an OHSMS. This includes guidance on changing
workplace cultures and influencing individual motivation, behavior and
attitudes.
Course is only available for In-House training.
Learning Objectives
Be able to design and implement a program to identify and
manage workplace hazards for occupational health and safety.
