Canadian companies will soon have some help in keeping their workplaces safe.

 

With more than 900 workers dying each year, Canada has one of the worst records among developed nations in occupational health and safety. That’s why the Canadian Standards Association is introducing Canada’s first consensus-based occupational health and safety management standard, called CSA Z1000-06.

 

The new voluntary standard encourages a more systematic approach to meeting defined OHS objectives. It uses a four-step approach (plan, do, check and act) to assist companies in managing preventive and protective measures, emergency preparedness, training, procurement issues, documentation, legal and many other safety-related requirements.

 

It is also designed to get employees involved in the operation of the management system, and is compatible with other management system standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
