What is a System
An orderly set of components that work
together for a certain purpose
E.g. the blood circulatory system
Components:
Heart and blood vessels (artery, veins, capillaries)
Purpose:
To transport blood which contains oxygen and
nutrients to all parts of the body
To carry wastes away to be filtered out of the body

System
An OSHE management system

Complex information that are changing
have to be taken into account at all times
Why Do You Need a System

A system organises and simplifies
complexity
A system provides order, structure, and

focuses on the purpose and objective
of activities
Typical OSHE-MS Components

1. Policy
2. Plan - System planning, OSH objectives,
development and implementation
3. Do -
Responsibility and accountability;

Competence and training, Hazard
control system
4. Check -Performance measurement;

Accident / incident investigation;
Auditing
5. Act -
Preventive and corrective action,

Continual improvement

sector and other appropriate sections
c) Efficiency and effectiveness of existing
resources devoted to OH&S management

quantifiable objectives to implement the
policy
Communicate objectives to all relevant
functions and levels of the organization
17
Organising
Responsibility and accountability for OSH
performance for managers & supervisors
Competence and training of employees

should be established and maintained

internally
Cooperation on OSH aspects between the
employer, management and workers

input for the system is workplace
hazards, legislation and expectations
of others
33
Summary
The components of OHSMS are Policy,

PDCA
The objective or purpose of an OHSMS

such as MS1722:2003 or OHSAS 18001
