Occupational health and safety management systems - General guidelines on principles, systems and supporting techniques
Standards Australia
Abstract
Provides guidance on the development and implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) and principles, and their integration with other management systems. The guidelines are intended for use as a voluntary, internal management tool and are not intended for use by OHSMS certification/registration bodies as a specification Standard. This Standard aligns closely with AS/NZS 4801:2001.
Scope
This Standard provides guidance on the development and implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) and principles, and their integration with other management systems.
The Guidelines are applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type, or level of maturity, that is interested in developing, implementing or improving an OHSMS. The Guidelines are intended for use as a voluntary, internal management tool and are not intended for use by OHSMS certification/registration bodies as a specification standard.
Effective implementation of an OHS management system should seek to ensure the organization complies with relevant OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice. However, the implementation of any of the part of this Standard, does not in any way assure compliance with legal requirements, or other obligations placed upon the organization by a statutory body. Hence, the implementation, either actual or intended, of this Standard, or parts thereof, would not preclude any action by a statutory body.
