The British system is referred to as OHSAS 18001. It is highly compatible
with ISO 14001. I have registered several facility to the standard, and
integrated one into a join OHSAS 188001/ISO 14001. It works very well.

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

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
