2. Key legislation Health and Safety at Work etc, Act 2001
original act 1974
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
normally referred to as COSHH

3. BS 8800 (National Health Service SAFECODE)

4. BS 8800/OHSAS 18001
BS 8800
non-certifiable guidance document
use when implementing a health and safety system within ISO 14001
OHSAS 18001
from ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
an auditable management system

5. BS 8800 (National Health Service SAFECODE)

6. OHSAS 18001
OHSAS 18001(Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series)
published in April 1999
specifies requirements of a OH&S MS
designed to be applicable to
all types and sizes of companies
diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions.

7. OHSAS 18001
Certification against OHSAS is aimed at the way a company has
knowledge of ...
and control over ...
all relevant risks resulting from normal operations and abnormal situations.

8. OHSAS 18001
Growing demand for a management system based standard for OH&S
stand alone management system or integrated with either their ISO or ISO 9001 management system.
expect an accreditation scheme will emerge within the next 2 years

9. OHSAS 18001 OHSAS 18001 structure - six sections: General Requirements
OH&S Policy
Planning
Implementation and Operation
Checking and Corrective Action
Management Review

10. OHSAS 18001
OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) 18001
OHSAS 18001: Specifications for OH&S Management Systems
OHSAS 18002: Guidance for OH&S Management Systems
OHSAS 18003: Criteria for auditors of OH&S Management Systems

11. OHSAS 18001
Traditional occupational health and safety management reacted to work related incidents.
OHSAS plans for the control of work related risks.

12. OHSAS 18001
H&S costs facing organizations include but are not limited to:
investigation time,
wages paid for lost time,
training replacements,
extra supervisory and clerical time,
decreased output of worker upon return
the loss of business and goodwill

13. OHSAS 18001 Benefits of Registration:
potential reduction in the number of accidents
potential reduction in downtime and associated costs
demonstration of legal and regulatory compliance
demonstration of commitment to stakeholders
demonstration of innovative, forward thinking approach
increased access to new customers and business
better management of risks, now and in the future
potential reduced public liability insurance costs

17. COSHH Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999
What are hazardous substances?
substances used directly in work activities eg glues, paints, cleaning agents
substances generated during work activities eg fumes from soldering and welding
naturally occurring substances eg grain dust, blood, bacteria

18. COSHH Health effects are the different ways you can become ill: cancer
dermatitis
occupational asthma
poison
reproductive toxicity
harm to unborn or breast feeding children, or to fertility

19. COSHH COSHH does cover, e.g.: chemicals or mixtures of substances
substances with occupational exposure limits
biological agents
dusts, in certain concentrations
any other substances which have similar hazards to health but for technical reasons may not be specifically covered by CHIP ...

20. CHIP
Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994.
to ensure that people supplied with chemicals receive the information they need to protect themselves, others and the environment.
obliges suppliers to identify the hazards and pass on this information with advice on safe use. This is usually done by means of package labels and safety data sheets.

21. Corrosive
Explosive
Oxidising
Extremely flammable
Highly flammable
Very toxic
Toxic
Harmful
Irritant
Danger to environment
CHIP symbols from
Health.pp

22. COSHH
the presence (or not) of a warning label will indicate whether COSHH is relevant
COSHH does not cover:
asbestos and lead
radioactive substances per se
explosive or flammable substances
chemicals at high temperature / pressure.
Other laws apply in these cases

23. 7 steps to COSHH
Step 1 Work out what hazardous substances are used in your work place and find out the risks from using these substances to people's health.
Step 2 Decide what precautions are needed before starting work with hazardous substances.

24. 7 steps to COSHH
Step 3 Prevent people being exposed to hazardous substances, but where this is not reasonably practicable, control the exposure.
Step 4 Make sure control measures are used and maintained properly and that safety procedures are followed.

25. 7 steps to COSHH
Step 5 If required, monitor exposure of employees to hazardous substances.
Step 6 Carry out health surveillance where your assessment has shown that this is necessary or COSHH makes specific requirements.
Step 7 Make sure employees are properly informed, trained and supervised.

26. COSHH Consider: and then: changing the process or activity
eg mixing in a closed vessel to minimise vapour
replacing it with a safer alternative
is the hazardous substance essential
using it in a safer form
eg pellets are less dusty than powder.
and then:
use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

29. Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
EC Directive 2002/95/EC
restricts use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
legislation affects manufacturers, sellers, distributors and recylers of electrical and electronic equipment

30. RoHS ii specific to lead mercury cadmium hexavalent chromium
polybrominated  biphenyls
polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

31. ROHS iii
Directive covers the same scope as the WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment directive)
except for medical devices and monitoring and control instruments.
applies to electric light bulbs and light fittings in households.

32. REACH
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

33. REACH intends to ...
improve the protection of human health and the environment
encourage the substitution of hazardous chemicals by safer ones
maintain competitiveness and enhance the innovative capability of the EU chemicals industry
promote research and development leading to new products.

34. REACH
passes responsibility for management of risks from chemicals to the industry
requires the provision of appropriate safety information

35. RISK ASSESSMENT essential for safe working applicable beyond OH&S
quick assessment of relative risks
simple methodology, usually
Risk factor = probability x severity
other forms may be used
e.g. Yoxon & Sheldon for EMS (last week)

36. Fire risk assessment Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
from 01 October 2006, all owners/occupiers of UK business premises have to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment on their buildings

37. Probability
1 = unlikely
2 = possible
3 = probable

38. Severity
1 = minor
2 = serious
3 = critical

39. Risk factor 1-3 = low risk 4 = medium risk 6 or 9 = high risk
NB: the number must be
calculated, NOT estimated separately
the product of 1, 2 or 3 so RF cannot be 5, 7, 8.
