Comment (TAG Effort)

  12. Reminder of Some of the Major issues so far • Terms and definitions (e.g. “issues”, “workplace”, “risks”) • The concept of “positive risks” or opportunities • Management system vs. program orientation • Feed back and crisp relationships between sections of 45001 • Employee / worker participation • What stage assessments (i.e. risks) are conducted • Flow and understanding of the planning section from assessment to prioritization to objectives to system issues • Supplier / outsource management (including procurement and contractor management)

  13. and the major challenges • Major issues related to requirements • Definition of what a management system is • Objective of the OSHMS (compliance vs. conformance) • Application of the HLS • Speaking small (SMEs) • Depth or requirements or need for strong ANNEX • Major issues related to development and final product • Diversity of input • HLS “fit” • Input by “experts” • Need for basic vs. mature OHSMS concepts • Language and translation

  14. Strategies for pushing the US position • Educate, deliberate and advocate • In general, “give and take” • Assure concepts are included in annex if not standards language • Open door for future documents

  15. TG2 PlanningVictor Toy, CIH, CSPChair, US TAG to PC 283March 23, 2014

  16. General Overview Of the 1295 comments submitted… 266 (20%) are on Section 6, One third of those (80) are in the definitions of risk and hazard Comments include: Feedback (choices) on terminology Proposals to adjust structure of the section to improve flow Proposals to transfer content to other sections Suggestions for changes to wording Draft content for guidance on specific topics

  17. Section 6 Comment disposition Delineation of comments processed: • Terminology: 66 • Structure & Flow: 17 • Text detail: 156 • Editorial: 19 • Annex: 8 TOTAL: 266 (258 addressed: 8 remaining) – but a few deferred comments need to be revisited. Work not yet started on annex

  18. Comments overview & hot topics Overall Structure of Section : Suggestion to move OHS risk assessment from Sec 6 to 8 Suggestion to move Comp Obligations from Sec 6 to 4 (Context) General concern about overall flow – especially Section 6.1 Terminology and requirements: “opportunities” “compliance obligations” / “legal and other requirements” “objectives” – are these improvement or performance objectives? System Risks vs. OHS Risks clear distinction required in section 6 consistent with Annex SL

  19. Comments overview & hot topics Annex topics (not complete list as this is work in progress) (Risk) ‘criteria’ Guidance on compliance obligations Analysis of near misses/incidents Residual/unmitigated risk Risk gap analysis/assessment Human factors Limited time projects/operations Multi-employer work sites

  20. Section 6 Terminology – Risk Majority of comments appear to favor separating general (management system) risks from “OHS risks” Some favor making the OHS risk definition a note to the Annex SL risk definition (U.S. comment) A few prefer purely to use Annex SL Choice of 3.09A close to U.S. preference (an estimate of vs. combination) 3.09A - OH&S risk - combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s), and the severity of injury or illness ill-health that may be caused by the event or exposures

  21. Section 6 Terminology – Hazard 3.09B1 most popular, followed by B2 (the U.S. preference) which said “condition, set of circumstances, or inherent property that can cause injury, ill health/illness or death 3.09B1 (before) - Hazard - source, situation or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill-health/illness, or a combination of these 3.09B1 (after) - Hazard - source, situation or act with a potential to cause human injury or ill health

  22. Section 6 Terminology – Misc Opportunity - should not be defined but guidance is necessary to explain the concept as follows: assure the OH&S management system can achieve its intended outcomes prevent, or reduce, undesired effects achieve continual improvement Deferred to TG5 (Terminology) “Compliance obligations” vs. “Legal and other requirements” “Objectives”

  23. Overall Structure of Section Suggestion to move OHS risk assessment from Section 6 to 8 • Keep main discussion in 6, with focus in 8 remaining on application of controls (arising from RA) – but noting the feedback loop to 6. Suggestion to move Compliance Obligations from 6 to 4 (Context) • Keep main discussion in 6, with existing mention reference in 4 General concern about overall flow – especially Section 6.1 • Agreement to reposition “Compliance obligations” section • Majority in TG2 favor position early in Section 6 before HAZID &RA • Minority strongly favor position after HAZID & RA • Referred to plenary resulting in no change

  24. U.S. Section 6 Comments • General responses • Accepted • Section 6 organization and flow • Feedback from other sections into planning • Management of Change • Meaningful employee participation • Multiemployer worksite (to annex) • Review of management system (to annex) • Not Accepted • Specific system improvement language • Identification of system issues • Clarification of risk assessment in section 6 vs 8

  25. Next Steps and Administrative Items

  26. III. Next Steps • PC 283 TGs complete standards language and annex • Vote to move to CD (delegates) • U.S. TAG begins work on review and comments • Distribute CD • TAG Member Review and comment (at least 2 weeks) • TAG Meeting(s) to address U.S. comments • 1 week Face to face meeting possibly around week 3-4 • Consolidation of U.S. TAG comment resolutions (who?) • Final Review by Telecon of major issues (if possible) • US TAG committee vote on CD • Comments and vote submitted to BSI
