The US version is ANSI/AIHA Z10 Occupational Health and Safety
Management Systems.

In Australia we have a Standard AS/NZS 4801:2001 Occupational health
and
safety management systems.
This is a bit like the ISO 9000 quality management system, where you
have internal & external audits, and highly controlled documentation
etc.
It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it means your
compliant departments get a nice certificate with 5 ticks on it to
hang
on the wall.
I know the Brits have the same sort of thing, and I'd be very
surprised
if the US standards people don't have something similar.

Cheers, Paul

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Safety recognition programs

As if I didn't already have enough to do .......

Do any of you at academic institutions have a safety recognition
program
in place?  Could you give me a brief description of how the program
works and if you think it's worthwhile?  I am most interested in
academic institions but if you have a program in industry that you're
particularly proud of, send it along.

Thanks!

And thanks to everyone who responded to my lab safety program
effectiveness query.  Fascinating stuff!

Debbie
