There are seven key elements of and occupational health and safety management system;
Policy
A clear health and safety policy contributes to business efficiency and continuous improvement
throughout the operation. The policy should state the intentions of the organization in term of clear
aims, objectives, targets and senior management involvement.
Organizing
A well-defined health and safety organization should identify health and safety responsibilities at all
levels of the organization. An effective organization will be noted for good communications, the
promotion of competency, the commitment of all employees and responsive reporting system.
Planning and implementing
A clear health and safety plan, based on risk assessment, sets and implements performance
standards, targets and procedures through an effective health and safety management system. The
plan should set priorities and objectives for the control or elimination of hazards and the reduction of
risks.
Measuring performance
This includes both active (sometimes called proactive) and reactive monitoring of the health and
safety management system. It is also important to measure the organization against its own
long-term goals and objectives.
Reviewing performance
The results of monitoring and independent audits should indicate whether the objectives and
targets set in the health and safety policy need to be changed. Changes in the health and safety
environment in the organization, such as an accident, should also trigger a performance review.
Performance reviews should include comparisons with internal performance indicator and the
external performance indicator of similar organization with exemplary practices and high
standards.
Auditing
An independent and structured audit of all parts of the health and safety management system
reinforces the review process. If the audit is to be really effective, it must assess both the
compliance with stated procedures and performance in the workplace. It will identify
weaknesses in the health and safety policy and procedures and identify unrealistic or
inadequate standards and targets.
Continual improvement
The simplest way to achieve continual improvement is to implement the recommendations of
audits and management reviews and use benchmarks from similar organization and any revised
national or industrial guidelines. Suggestions from the workforce, managers, supervisors and
health and safety committee can be a very effective vehicle for continual improvement.
OSH policy
CEA will pursue excellence in health and safety performance across all areas of its business.
Management unconditionally accepts its responsibility for the effective implementation of this policy
and will provide systems, training, supervision and visible support to ensure a safe work
environment.
CEA shall :
Assess health and safety in all stages of planning, design and construction develop and
implement systems to eliminate or control hazardous tasks and provide substitutes for identified
hazardous products.

Principle and practice of risk assessment
Identify significant risks only
Identify measures required to comply with legislation
Remain appropriate and valid over a reasonable period of time.
Hazard – the potential to cause harm
Risk - the likelihood to cause harm
Residual risk – the risk remaining after some controls are in place
Forms of risk assessment
Quantitative – calculated from risk = likelihood × severity
Qualitative – descriptor (high, medium or low) used to describe timetable for remedial action
Generic – cover similar activities or work equipment.
Health risk
Chemical – exhaust fumes, paint solvents, asbestos
Biological – legionella, other pathogens, hepatitis
Physical – noise vibration, radiation
Psychological – stress, violence
Ergonomic – musculoskeletal disorders.
Selecting the sub- contractors
1. Health and safety must be included in the contract specification.
2. All significant hazards must be included in the contract specification
3. The contractor must be given basic site and health and safety information, such as welfare and first aid
arrangements, significant hazards, safe storage of chemical and the name of contact supervisor
4. Train their own employees
5. Comply with the requirements for health and safety on site detailed in local legislation
6. Ensure there are adequate welfare facilities for their employees
7. Competent supervision
8. Plan, manage and monitor their own work and that of employees
9. Past accident record
10. Example of method statements
Principle of prevention
Avoid risks
Evaluate risk which cannot be avoided
Adapt work to the individual
Adapt to technical changes
Replace dangerous items with less dangerous items
Develop an overall prevention policy
Give priority to collection measures (safe place strategy)
Give instruction to employees (safe person strategy)
Hierarchy Of Risk Control

Risk assessment process
Hazard identification – step 1 of UK HSE’s five steps
Persons at risk – step 2 of UK HSE’s five steps
Employees, agency/temporary workers, contractors, shift workers
Member of the public – visitors, customers, patients, students, children, elderly
Special groups – young persons, expectant or nursing mothers, workers with a disability, lone workers
Evaluation of risk level (residual risk) – step 3 of UK HSE’s five steps
High, medium and low (defined qualitatively or quantitatively )
Both occupational and organization risk levels need to be considered
Details risk controls (existing and additional) – step 3 of UK HSE’s five steps
The prioritization of risk control is important
Risks can be reduced at the design stage by using the principle of prevention
Risks can be controlled by using the hierarchy of risk control
Record of risk assessment finding – step 4 UK HSE’s five steps
Monitor and review – step 5 of UK HSE’s five steps
Regular reviews required but need to be more frequent if ;
New legislation introduced
New information available on substances or process
Changes to the workforce – introduction of trainees

Competency Requirement of your employees
Training & Competency
All people using equipment at work must be adequately trained to ensure health and
safety in its use, supervision or management. Some work activities require detailed
formal training but, for most everyday activities involving work equipment, adequate
training can be delivered in-house using the manufacturer's instructions and the
background knowledge / skills of more experienced workers and managers.
Responsibilities of Employer
Employers must 'ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received
adequate training for the purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods
which may be adopted when using work equipment, and [Link] is a similar duty to
ensure adequate training in relation to supervisory and managerial staff.
.
Competence and competent people who examine work equipment
All people using work equipment or supervising / managing its use should be sufficiently
competent to do so safely. Competence may include, in some cases, minimum medical
fitness (eg for driving vehicles) and either or both physical and mental aptitude (eg the
ability to climb and work at height to operate a tower crane),
Competency may be verified by:
a. Recognition of prior learning;
b. On-site recognition of current competency;
c. Training and development programs.
Evidence of competency:
A previous assessment of competency;
A statement of attainment or other nationally-recognised qualification;
Completed training at an industry training school or competency card from that
industry;
Evidence of on-the-job training by another experienced and competent person, along
with log books.
