Management Systems
Each company possesses (whether consciously or not, whether documented or not) an overall management system
An overall management system is the sum of the management subsystems .. as well as their interrelationships
Reference: ISO Guide 72:2000 Guidelines for the justification and development of management system standards
Questions to Help Understand “Management Systems” Approaches
How would you describe the system (process) your organization uses to integrate environmental and health and safety programs into its day to day business?
Do you have a process to ensure EH&S issues are addressed routinely?
How reliable is the process? How do you know?
Does your process include on-going planning, risk identification/control and reviewing your process for effectiveness?

Early Meetings
Selection of composition of committee was in depth
Representation of all sectors was paramount
Argument for need was extensive
First meeting voted to exist!!!!Struggled with what product should be
How we defined Success
If the standard … Helps those who would like to move toward a
management system for organizing their programs Is easy to read and provides useful information to
facilities of varying S&H sophistication Is published in a timely fashion Is truly a product of consensus
… Versus Failure
If the standard…Adds unnecessary burdens to effective programsDoes not address minority concerns (i.e. small business, universities, labor)
Provides “cookie cutter” requirements rather than generally applicable guidance
Z10
Summary
Z10 is a voluntary standard
Purpose of Z10: a tool to minimize risks, prevent injuries and enable continuous improvement of the OHSMS
Encourages integration using Deming’s Plan-Do-Check-Act
Helps reduce risk

Figure 1 Layers of Management System implementation
ANSI/AIHA Z10 focuses primarily on the strategic levels of policy and the processes to ensure the policy is effectively carried out. The standard does not provide detailed procedures, job instructions or documentation mechanisms. Each organization must design these according to their needs.
