The Road to an International Occupational Health & Safety Management System Standard ISO 45001U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO Project Committee 283Updated on 1/29/2014
Introduction • June 2013, a New Work Item Proposal to establish an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) was approved by ISO creating Project Committee 283 (PC 283) • September 2013, a U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the ISO PC 283 established • The scope is to develop a global occupational health and safety (OH&S) standard to provide effective, real-world solutions for worker safety. This is historic work to protect not only America’s workers, but also that of the global workforce. It will continue to shape the H&S profession and directly impact how we manage and deliver health and safety both in and out of the workplace.
Background • Prior attempts for passage – 3 prior failed attempts for an ISO OHSMS standard • The British Standards Institute instead, begins work on 8800 eventually leading to the work of the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) Project Group on OHSAS18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems 1999 • The OHSAS "Standards and Certificates Survey" has shown a rapid rise in the rate of use of OHSAS 18001 and equivalent standards such as the ANSI Z10 OHSMS over the past 10 years • OHSMS standards are now being used in 127 countries around the world with over 100,000 certificates issued
The most compelling reason for an ISO OHSMS This comes from the NWIP. Would like to update this with global or U.S. Data UK’s Health and Safety Executive has the following data for 2010/11: • 1.2 million working people were suffering from a work related illness • 175 workers killed at work • 115000 injuries were reported • 200000 reportable injuries (over 3 day absence) occurred • 26.4 million working days were lost due to work related illness and workplace injury • Workplace injuries and ill health (excluding cancer) cost society an estimated $22.8 billion (in 2009/10) Similarly, the figures from the 2005 statistics released at the 17th World Congress on Safety and Health at Work showed that 2.2 million workers were fatally injured as the result of a work-related accident, which was an increase of 10 % from three years previously. The figures equate to around 6,000 cases per day.
The benefits of an effective OHSMS Ultimately the widespread use of effective OH&S management systems will benefit society by • reducing the number of incidents and accidents; • reducing disruptions to operational processes • reducing the need for emergency medical care provision • reducing the need for long term care for those unable to return to work following an accident • preventing the removal of people from the workforce • reducing the costs of incidents and accidents or of disruptions.
NWIP Scope of the proposed deliverable This International Standard specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, to enable an organization to control its OH&S risks and improve its OH&S performance. It does not state specific OH&S performance criteria, nor does it give detailed specifications for the design of a management system. This International Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to: • establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimize risks to personnel and other interested parties who could be exposed to OH&S hazards associated with its activities; • implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S mgmt system; • assure itself of its conformity with its stated OH&S policy; • demonstrate conformity with this International Standard.
NWIP Scope of the proposed deliverable The International Standard is intended to provide • organizations with the elements of an effective OHSMS that can help organizations achieve OH&S and economic objectives. • alignment the revisions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and the application of Annex SL, Appendix 2 of the Supplement to ISO Directives Part 1 (High level structure, identical core text and common terms and core definitions for use in Management Systems Standards) • requirements that can be incorporated into any OH&S management system. The extent of the application will depend on such factors as the OH&S policy of the organization, the nature of its activities and the risks and complexity of its operations. This International Standard is not intended to address other health and safety areas such as employee wellbeing/wellness programs, product safety, property damage or environmental impacts.
Market Relevance (Affected Parties) • Organizations of various types and sizes • People under the control of the organization • Visitors, neighbors, local community • Customers/end-users • Supplier organizations • OH&S management system service providers • Governments and regulators • Non-governmental organizations

The benefits of implementing an OHSMS • Common governance, policy and practice benchmarks across geographical boundaries, including different countries, cultures and jurisdictions • Ability to meet regulatory requirements, including accountability, ethical and corporate governance requirements; regulatory compliance; and practice audits • Enables compliance with national and international legislation and codes of conduct • Support of risk management, including emergency planning, and implementation • Shows a commitment to improved OH&S performance • Ability to set and assess performance measures for the use of contract service providers, and for inclusion in commercial contracts • Significant reductions in the number of OH&S incidents and accidents, including a reduction in associated costs • Significant reductions in the cost of disruptions to operations
The benefits of implementing an OHSMS • Reduced insurance premiums • Use of an OH&S MSS that integrates with other MSS • Enables a coordinated, consistent and integrated approach to establishing policy, objectives, targets and implementation techniques across an organization; thereby minimizing duplication, redundancy, and incompatible processes • Use of an OH&S management system standard for measuring conformity shows commitment to the wellbeing of workers, neighbors and visitors, as well as to organizational governance, accountability and integrity • Scalable use of an internationally accepted system to meet business needs, resource availability and risk • Facilitation of communication between different countries on shared issues, and a forum for articulating common principles, minimum and best practice. • the establishment of peer review and other monitoring (audits) systems including provision of training, certification and accreditation services • the establishment of formal complaints handling processes by the certification and accreditation bodies (through the use of ISO/IEC 17021)
In looking at the benefits that each group of stakeholders might achieve: • Governments and regulators • Industry • Labor • Visitors, neighbors, local community • For Small Medium Enterprises
