Assignment:
Comparative Analysis of Safety Management System Guidelines and Consensus Standards
For this assignment, you will be performing a comparative analysis on safety management standards and guidelines. You will begin by reviewing both the Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (International Labour Organization-Occupational Safety and Health [ILO-OSH]) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's
(OSHA's) Guidelines for Occupational Health and Safety Program Management. Following the review, you will develop a comparative analysis of the guidelines.
Your analysis must include the information listed below:
An overview of the guidelines, including information about the developing organization; the similarities and differences between guidelines;
Identification of how the guidelines include the model for continuous improvement (PDCA) discussed in the unit lesson; identification of whether the core elements of a safety management system are included in the guidelines;
Identification of the benefits to be obtained from implementing a safety management system; and identification of an industry sector that currently uses the guidelines.
Your analysis must be 2 to 3 pages, double-spaced, and 12-point font (separate title page and reference page are required and do not count toward the total page length). Make sure that you include an introduction.
