new & noteworthy

In the fall of 2012, the ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005 was updated. Z-10 is the voluntary consensus standard on occupational health and safety management systems adopted by the American Standards Institute (ANSI) in 2005. The standard was developed and approved by a committee of representatives from American industries and labor unions, and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) was secretariat. Many of Z10’s clauses address the same requirement as OHSAS 18001 and OSHA VPP. One of the main goals of the recent update of Z10 was to integrate occupational health and safety practices into an organization’s business processes.


Chapter 20: ANSI/AHIA Z10 Overview was thoroughly revised to reflect the recent update to ANSI/AIHA Z10-2012. The Z10 standard is a consensus standard that encourages integration with other management systems. Z10 draws from approaches used by the International Labor Organization’s guidelines on occupational safety management systems. Like OHSAS 18001 and OSHA VPP, Z10 follows the familiar Plan, Do, Check, Act structure and is appropriate for any size or type of organization.

did you know?

There are now more than 250,000 organizations across 155 countries certified to the ISO 14001 standard, including a host of high-profile firms. The standard is currently being revised by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the new version expected to be published in 2015.

Release # 130 OctObeR 2012

new and notewortHy

• New Chapter 21 CSA-Z1000-06 Overview

This release includes a new Chapter 21 describing the CAN/CSA-Z1000-06 standard for occupational health and safety management. The Z1000 standard is a consensus standard that emphasizes the need for worker participation in the implementation and operation of the management system. Like OHSAS 180001 and OSHA VPP, Z1000 follows the familiar Plan-Do-Check-Act structure and is appropriate for any size or type of organization. Z1000 allows options for self-declaration of conformance or certification by an external registrar.

HigHligHtS of tHiS releaSe

The new chapter explains the Z1000 standard following the system used to present OHSAS 18001 and ANSI/AIHI Z10; starting with an overview of the standard’s aims, a list of important definitions, and suggestions for successfully planning and implementing an OH&S-MS according to Z1000 requirements. The chapter also discusses methods for evaluation and corrective action, as well as a management review of the system once it is in place. It also provides details on how to obtain additional information on the standard.

The previous update added Appendix 20A, which outlined a clause-by-clause comparison of the Z1000 standard with OHSAS 18001, OHSA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), RC14001® and ANSI/AIHA Z10. Combined with this update’s detailed discussion of Z1000, the information will help organizations to make important decisions about their OH&S-MS, whether they are already familiar with the standards, have an OH&S-MS in place, or have to choose one to implement.

did you Know?• The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)

announced that the 2012 version of ANSI/AIHA Z10, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems standard was approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). According to AIHA, the revised Z10 standard will enable organizations to integrate OHS management into their overall business management systems since it focuses on principles that are broadly applicable to organizations of all sizes and types, not on detailed specifications.

• New Appendix 20A for Chapter 20 Beyond OHSAS 18001

This release includes a new Appendix 20A, which provides a cross-reference and brief comparison of five OHS-MS standards: OHSAS 18001, OSHA VPP, ANSI/AIHA Z10, CSA Z1000-06, and RC14001. The appendix is organized by the OHSAS 18001 clause structure and compares and contrasts the requirements of the various standards.

If you are beginning to plan your organization’s OHS-MS, you can use this comparison to help you determine which standard will be appropriate for your organization.

If your organization already has an OHS-MS that is structured to meet any of these standards and you are thinking about obtaining another certification, this comparison will help you determine what, if any, adjustments or enhancements you will need to make to your existing management system.

did you Know?• If your organization is seeking certification to the OHSAS

18001 standard, you should plan to complete implementation and at least one cycle of the management review process before your certification audit.

• To achieve OSHA VPP Star status, organizations must demonstrate injury and illness rates that are below industry averages and undergo an onsite evaluation.

• With either ANSI Z-10 or CSA Z1000-06, organizations may choose third-party certification through an accredited registrar or self-certification.

• The CSA Z1000-06 standard is intended for Canadian workplaces of all sizes and emphasizes worker participation.

• Responsible Care® companies can follow the RC14001® specification to combine Responsible Care and ISO 14001 into a single certification, which must be renewed every three years.

Release # 125 May 2011



• Chapter 14 Emergency Preparedness and Response Revised to Reflect Changes in Requirements

The text of Chapter 14 and the accompanying Case Study and Case Samples have been revised to reflect changes to Clause 4.4.7 regarding emergency preparedness and response. The revised chapter discusses how to address the clause requirements and provides sample procedures and forms for identifying potential emergency situations, identifying mitigation and response steps and procedures, and recording drills and emergency events.

did you Know?• The 2007 version of OHSAS 18001 Clause 4.4.7

added requirements for the organization to take the needs of relevant interested parties into account when planning for emergency response. Interested parties might include neighbors, local emergency response organizations, area hospitals, regulatory agencies, public utilities, corporate offices, community groups, media, and the fam ilies of workers. Depending on which parties the organization identifies as relevant to emergency

preparedness and response, this clause requirement may involve more communication and outreach than has previously been needed to comply with regulatory requirements. Therefore, organizations that plan to use the emergency response procedures already prepared to meet OSHA or EPA requirements should carefully review and consider whether the needs of additional parties should be taken into account.














Release # 124 JanuaRy 2011



• Chapter 13 Revised to Reflect Changes in Requirements for Internal OH&S Management System Audits

The text of Chapter 13 and the accompanying Case Study have been revised to reflect changes to Clause 4.4.6 regarding operational control. The revised chapter discusses how to address the new, more prescriptive requirements for the OH&S management system to manage operational or organizational changes that may bring new or different hazards and risks and ensure that appropriate controls are put in place before the change is implemented.

did you Know?• The 2007 version of the OHSAS 18001 expanded

the coverage of many clauses—including Clause 4.4.6—from just employees to contractors and other visitors to the workplace? OH&S hazards and risks run in both directions, so operational controls must not only protect contractors and visitors from the hazards of workplace operations, but must also protect the workplace and employees from the hazards created by contractor operations and visitor activities.


Release # 123 JanuaRy 2010



• Chapter 17 Revised to Reflect Changes in Requirements for Internal OH&S Management System Audits— The complete text of Chapter 17 and the

accompanying Case Study and Case Samples have been revised to reflect renumbering and other changes to Clause 4.5.5 regarding internal audits of the OH&S Management System.

did you Know?• The 2007 version of the OHSAS 18001 standard

modified the definition of the term “audit” to include requirements for audits to be both independent and documented. An independent audit does not require the use of external auditors, but it does mean that auditors should not be evaluating programs or procedures that they have developed or for which they have responsibility. In order to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, internal audit program managers should keep the requirement for independence in mind as they assemble audit teams and assign audit tasks.


Release # 122 septembeR 2009



• Chapter 4: Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control

This release updates the Case Study and Case Samples for Chapter 4: included are a revised sample area hazard analysis, a sample job safety analysis, a sample facility-wide analysis, and a sample procedure for hazard review.

• Chapter 15: Changes in Requirements for Performance Measurement and Monitoring and a New Clause 4.5.2 Evaluation of Compliance

Chapter 15 has been completely revised to reflect changes to Clause 4.5.1 regarding OH&S performance measurement and monitoring, and the addition of a new Clause 4.5.2 for compliance evaluation. The latest version (2007) of the OHSAS 18001 standard places more emphasis on the evaluation of compliance with applicable OH&S legal requirements and other requirements to which the organization subscribes.

Since its inception, this Guide has recommended that organizations establish and implement a health and safety compliance audit procedure and an audit program that includes detailed compliance protocols and checklists. Readers who have already taken this step will be well-positioned for conformance to the new requirements of the revised Standard.

did you Know?• In addition to VPP, OSHA offers four other cooperative programs

under which businesses, labor groups, and other organizations can work with OSHA to help prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses in the workplace. For more information on these cooperative programs, see www.osha.gov/dcsp/compliance_assistance/coop_programs.html.
