MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - Occupational Health and Safety: The Road Ahead

"Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems are an emerging trend in business and in the health and safety field. They reflect the principles of quality, due diligence and continual improvement and provide for the creation of prevention programs that can be implemented, maintained, documented and verified. - With the advent of recent amendments to the Criminal
Code of Canada, organizations and senior officers may be held liable for the negligent actions of their representatives. In addition to enhancements of organizational and personal penalties, the justice system has been given new creative powers for sentencing, including the institution of standards, policies, procedures and practices. A managed system approach incorporates these elements into health and safety programs, allowing for injury and illness prevention and the creation of due diligence". — IAPA (Industrial Accident Prevention Association)

CAN/CSA-Z1000-14 - Occupational health and safety management

"This is the second edition of CSA Z1000, Occupational health and safety management. It supersedes the first edition published in 2006. As a fundamental concept, and to identify the inclusiveness of an occupational health and safety management system, this Standard defines "occupational health and safety" as: the promotion in the workplace of the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of workers and the protection of workers from, and the prevention of, workplace conditions and factors adverse to their health and safety. Many organizations have a system in which the workplace parties are accountable for health and safety within their respective control or authority. When used in this context, CSA Z1000 provides a model for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an occupational health and safety management system. Such a system encourages a more systematic approach to meeting defined occupational health and safety objectives and increases awareness of health and safety in the workplace. It can also assist organizations seeking certification under federal, provincial, and sector-based certification programs (e.g., Certificates of Recognition)"

Worker Safety in Hospitals - Safety and Health Management Systems

"One of the most effective ways to reduce workplace hazards and injuries is through a comprehensive, proactive safety and health management system. A safety and health management system is a proactive, collaborative process to find and fix workplace hazards before employees are injured or become ill. The benefits of implementing safety and health management systems include protecting workers, saving money, and making all your hazard-specific programs more effective. In hospitals, prioritizing safety in the environment of care reaps important additional benefits through improved quality of patient care. Leading hospitals have already effectively implemented these systems in a number of ways"
