B. Review Comments

The document states:

This Management System Standard covers Quality, Occupational Health, Safety and Environment (Q, H, S & E) issues in a single document with the purpose to enhance:

• process quality having an influence on the quality of products and services;

• protection of the environment, including protection against pollution and waste;

• occupational health and safety as well as safety of products and services.

The standard has been developed to:

• be sufficiently generic to be adaptable to any organisation regardless of its size or the nature of its activities;

• facilitate operation within the framework of statutory requirements;

• facilitate evaluation of an organisation’s operations against an established and recognized international standard as appropriate.

This version of the document is vastly different the 1995 version initially analyzed for this project. The current document is more comprehensive and represents a strong management system. The former version was not an integrated quality, environment, and health/safety management system.

The only OHSMS variable not explicitly addressed in this document is hazardous agent management.
