ILO: Guidelines on occupational safety and health management systems (ILO-OSH 2001)
Description:
These Guidelines call for coherent policies to protect workers from occupational hazards and risks while improving productivity. They present practical approaches and tools for assisting organizations, competent national institutions, employers, workers and other social partners in establishing, implementing and improving occupational safety and health management systems, with the aim of reducing work-related injuries, ill health, diseases, incidents and deaths.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
These guidelines assist countries with developing management systems for the establishment of a national framework for occupational safety and health (OSH), preferably supported by national laws and regulations. They also provide precise information on developing voluntary arrangements to strengthen compliance with regulations and standards, which, in turn, lead to continual improvement of OSH performance.
