Occupational Health and Safety is based on:
>>Hazard identification
The process of recognizing that a hazard exists (source or situation with the potential
to cause harm in terms of human injury or ill-health)
>>Risk assessment
The process of evaluating the risk arising from the hazard (combination of the
likelihood of a hazardous event or exposure and the severity of injury or ill health that
can be caused by the event of exposure)
11
OHSAS 18001 TOOL: PDCA
OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Standard uses a management approach tool called
the PDCA cycle. PDCA is an ongoing process that enables an organisation to establish, implement
and maintain its health and safety policy based on top management leadership and commitment
to the safety management system. It consists of the following:
13
OHSAS 18001 TOOL: PDCA – DO
The implementation stage should be the easiest part of this process. If the planning stage is done
the right way then it is just a matter of following the documentation and procedures that have
been created.
In order to ensure smooth implementation a lead senior manager should be in charge of the new
OH&S system and at the same time each element of the process should have an ‘owner’ or a
person that looks after that part of the system. This ensures the appropriate structure at your
organization and effectively minimizes risk.
It is advisable to start the implementation by breaking the system down into specific elements
rather than tackling it as a whole. Concentrating on specific elements in a logical order creates a
solid foundation for the whole system to work efficiently.
Another important aspect of health and safety is having employees do the jobs that are suited to
their competencies.
A matrix should be created showing all groups of personnel, their
required competencies, training and status of each. These formal
procedures should instill the required awareness within your
organization.

The final step is the management review, it is a vital part of the continuous
improvement process and so the standard itself outlines what should be
included in such a review.
Management review is done by the senior management and involves
reviewing the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the system. It should
also include assessing opportunities for improvement and the necessity to
change the OH&S policy and the OH&S objectives.
If changes are needed, the senior management should also provide the
necessary resources for their implementation. Providing resources is a way of
presenting commitment to the new health and safety system.

Standardisation
A standard is defined by the BSI as:
“A document, established by consensus and approved by a
recognised body, that provides for common and repeated use,
rules, guidelines, or characteristics for activities or their
results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of
order in a given context”
• A specification is a
“Detailed set of requirements to be satisfied by a product, material,
process or system, indicating the procedures for checking conformity to
these requirements”.
• A guidance
Document provides advice rather than a set of verifiable requirements
and is designed as an internal management tool.
24
Recent Developments in H&S
25
BS 8800
• Produced by the BSI in 1996
• Written as a guidance document.
• Based on the management systems models from both the
HSE and ISO 14001.
Over 7000 copies of BS8800 were sold in the first twelve months.

OHSAS 18001
• Produced in 1999.
• Specification produced by several organisations (both
from the UK and internationally) led by the BSI.
• The management system model used in OHSAS 18001 is
the ISO 14001 model.
• As a specification, OHSAS 18001 lists a number of
management system requirements using ‘shall’
statements such as ‘the organisation shall establish and
maintain documented health and safety objectives, at
each relevant function and level within the organisation’.
30
OHSAS 18002
• Produced in 2000.
• Provides generic guidance on the application of 18001.
• This document describes the intent, typical inputs, processes
and typical outputs, against each requirement of 18001.
• Purpose is to aid the understanding and implementation of
OHSAS 18001.

The Health & Safety Policy
• An OH&S policy establishes an overall sense of direction and sets the
principles of action for an organisation.
• It sets goals for the level of OHS responsibility and performance required
from the source.
• It demonstrates the formal commitment towards good OH&S
management, particularly that of the organisation’s top management.

Planning for Health & Safety Management
41
Planning for Health & Safety Management
Both BS8800 and OHSAS 18001 identify three key areas which
need to be addressed during the planning stage.
(1) Risk Assessment and Management
The intent of this requirement is so that the organisation can appreciate
all significant OH&S hazards facing it using the process of risk
management.
(2) Legal requirements
The organisation should identify all legal requirements applicable to it as
well as any other industry or company specific requirements to which it
subscribes.
(3) Health & Safety Objectives and Programmes
Health and safety objectives are defined as “the goals in terms of H&S
performance that an organisation sets itself to achieve and should be
quantified wherever practicable”.
42
Planning for Health & Safety Management
Examples of Types of OH&S objective
43
Planning for Health & Safety Management
Implementing Objectives
• Suitable indicators should be defined for each objective to allow for
the monitoring of the implementation of the objectives.
• Formal action plans should be drawn up for each OH&S objective that
has been identified. These should identify the:
– Individuals who are responsible for the deliverance of the objectives across the
quarry and/or within each operation.
– Various tasks that need to be undertaken in order to meet each objective.

competence of personnel to carry out their designated functions.
• Systematic identification of the competencies required by each
employee.
• Provision of training identified as being necessary.
• Assessment of individuals to ensure that they have acquired and
maintain the knowledge and skills necessary for the level of

– They may be the result of natural or human
causes.
• Responses to emergencies typically include fire-
fighting medical, security, and safety personnel.
– As well as specialists from a variety of different
fields.
– Each have different, interrelated & interdependent
roles to play.
• A company's emergency response plan should
clearly identify the different personnel and
groups that respond to various types of
emergencies.
– One person should be clearly identified and
accepted by all emergency responders as the
emergency coordinator.

Psychological Trauma of Emergencies
• Psychological trauma among employees involved in workplace disasters is
as common as it is among combat veterans.
– Trauma is psychological stress, as the result of an event so shocking
that it impairs a person's sense of security or well-being.
– Traumatic events are typically unexpected, shocking, and involve the
reality or threat of death
• The typical approach to an emergency can be described as follows:
– Control it, take care of the injured, clean up the mess, and get back to
work.
• Often, the psychological aspect is ignored.
65
Implementation and Operation
Trauma Response Team
• A company's Trauma Response Team (TRT) may consist of safety &
health personnel who have undergone special training or fully
credentialed counseling personnel, depending on the company.
– Their job is to intervene as early as possible, help employees
acknowledge what they have experienced, and give them opportunities
to express how they feel about it.
• TRT members who are not counselors or mental health
professionals should never attempt to provide care that they are
not qualified to offer.
– Part of the trauma training involves recognizing the symptoms of
employees who need professional care.

Terrorism in the Workplace
• The events and the ongoing threat in American workplaces have many
people living and working in fear.
– Employers clearly have a role to play in preparing for terrorist attacks,

Recovering from Disasters
• Recovering quickly from a disaster is key to staying in
business.
– About 70% of businesses that close for a month or more as
a result of disaster never reopen, or fail within 3 years.
• A comprehensive disaster recovery plan should have at
least the following components:
– Recovery coordinator, recovery team, recovery analysis and
planning.
– Damage assessment and salvage operations.
– Recovery communications & employee support/assistance.

Recovering from Disasters
Before resuming business, consider the following:
– Structural integrity.
• Has the structural integrity of the building been checked by
professionals to ensure that it is safe to enter?
– Utility checks
• Have all utilities—gas, electricity, water, sewer—been checked to
ensure there are no leaks, cracks, loose wires, etc.?
• Have the appropriate utilities given approval for reopening?
– Cleanup protection.
• Ensure that cleanup crews are properly protected from any
hazardous materials/conditions that might have been created.
– Health and sanitation.
• Kitchens, bathrooms & areas in which food,or potentially
hazardous or toxic substances are stored should be checked &
and thoroughly cleaned to prevent exposure of employees and
customers to hazardous conditions.
– Air quality & ventilation.
• Make sure the air quality in the facility is tested by competent
professionals before allowing personnel to enter the building.
• Make sure ductwork has been checked for potentially harmful
biological and chemical agents as well as dust & debris.

Recovering from Disasters
Before resuming business, consider the following: (con’t)
– Walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Check walls and ceilings to ensure that no materials are in danger of falling
off—inside for occupants and outside for pedestrians.
– Safety equipment.
• Check all fire extinguishers, all types of alarms, and any other safety
equipment to determine whether it has been damaged.
– Lighting.
• Ensure that all illumination devices are in proper working order and that all
personnel have the required amount of illumination to do their jobs.
– Hazardous waste removal.
• Any type of potentially hazardous material that is left lying around after the
disaster should be collected and properly disposed of.
– Machines and equipment.
• All machines and equipment should be checked carefully before they are
reenergized.
– Furniture.
• Check all furniture to ensure its structural integrity.
• Make sure fasteners, braces, and supports have not been damaged during the
emergency or that furniture has not become unstable due to water damage.
