The word “shall” is used for requirements. An organization that ch
14、ooses to conform to this standard is expected to meet these requirements. Recommendations and explanatory notes are identified by the word “should.” In no instance shall the exercise of a legal right or privilege or the fulfillment of a legal obligation by an organization, its employees or authorize
15、d representative be considered a nonconformance with any requirement of this standard. Those asserting these rights shall find alternative methods to conform to the standard consistent with the assertion of those rights. E1.3: This standard is designed so it can be integrated with quality, environme
16、ntal, and other management systems within an organization. It can also assist organizations to evaluate and improve existing OHSMS. In several places in the standard, the organization is directed to establish a process for accomplishing a management system activity or function. When the standard sta
17、tes that “the organization shall establish a process,” this is intended to mean that the organization will establish, implement and maintain the identified process. Although the standard uses the terminology “a process,” the organization may establish several processes instead of only a singular pro
18、cess, if that is more appropriate to its needs.

Exposure: Contact with or proximity to a hazard, taking into account duration and intensity. Exposure Assessment: The process of measuring or estimating the exposure profiles of
25、 workers, including the relevant characteristics of the exposures such as the duration and intensity. Hazard: A condition, set of circumstances, or inherent property that can cause injury, illness, or death. Incident: An event in which a work-related injury or illness (regardless of severity) or fat
26、ality occurred or could have occurred (commonly referred to as a “close call” or “near miss”). Non-conformance: A deficiency in meeting one or more of the organizations or this standards OHSMS requirements.

Top Management: Person or group of people who direct and control the operation of an organization
32、. ANSI/ASSE Z10-2012 (R2017) 5 3.0 Management Leadership and Employee Participation This section defines the requirements for management leadership and employee participation. Top management leadership and effective employee participation are crucial for the success of an Occupational Health and Saf
33、ety Management System (OHSMS). 3.1 Management Leadership 3.1.1 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Top management shall direct the organization to establish, implement and maintain an OHSMS in conformance with the requirements of this standard that is appropriate to the nature and scale
34、 of the organization and its occupational health and safety risks. E3.1.1: Leadership begins with top management providing the directive for integrating health and safety into the daily functions of the business. 3.1.2 OHS Policy The organizations top management shall establish a documented occupati
35、onal health and safety policy as the foundation for the OHSMS. This policy shall include a commitment to: A. Protection and continual improvement of employee health and safety; B. Effective employee participation; C. Conformance with the organizations health and safety requirements; and D. Complianc
36、e with applicable occupational health and safety laws and regulations. The OHS Policy shall be communicated to employees, made available to relevant external interested parties as E3.1.2: These four elements are essential for an effective policy, and should be expressed in the manner that best refle
37、cts the organizations culture and health and safety values. E3.1.2D: While the policy is expected to contain a commitment to compliance with applicable health and safety laws and regulations, it is understood that even the most effective OHSMS will not ensure an organization is in total compliance a
38、t any particular point ANSI/ASSE Z10-2012 (R2017) 6 appropriate, dated, and signed or otherwise officially authorized and endorsed by top management. in time. Under such circumstances, an organization should not be considered out of conformance with this standard so long as its OHSMS, as implemented
39、, results in the prompt detection and correction of the system deficiencies that contributed to the instances of noncompliance. In addition to employees and employee representatives, it may be useful to share this policy with various stakeholders, e.g. suppliers, customers, contractors, local commun
40、ities, and other interested and affected parties. Appendix A contains examples of methods for communicating the policy. 3.1.3 Responsibility and Authority Top management shall provide leadership and assume overall responsibility for implementing, maintaining, and monitoring performance of the OHSMS;
41、 including: A. Providing appropriate financial, human and, organizational resources to plan, implement, operate, check, correct and, review the OHSMS; B. Defining roles, assigning responsibilities, establishing accountability, and delegating authority to implement an effective OHSMS for continual im
42、provement; C. Integrating the OHSMS into the organizations other business systems and processes and assuring the organizations performance review, compensation, reward and recognition systems are aligned with the OHS policy and the OHSMS performance objectives. Employees shall assume responsibility
43、for aspects of health and safety over which they have control, including adherence to the organizations health and safety rules and requirements. E3.1.3: The roles and responsibilities should be documented. See Section E5.4. Top management should not simply delegate implementation of the OHSMS to ot
44、her members of management. Visible leadership by management sets the tone for the entire organization which is much more effective than if driven by health and safety staff. Top management involvement and commitment can be measured by inclusion of the OHSMS as an element of the organizations busines
45、s plan, time spent on OHS, visible personal participation, and number of OHSMS tasks performed. Leadership by top management includes communicating not only what needs to be done but why it should be done. Addressing the why of safety for all personnel can contribute to better acceptance and impleme
46、ntation. E3.1.3C: Examples of other business systems that integrate OHSMS include: Purchasing, production and quality; Human Resource recruitment, training, worker and incentive compensation systems; Environmental waste and permit management systems; External Regulatory, Community Affairs, and Susta
47、inability communication teams; Materials and/or Facilities Management and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information systems; and Risk Management and Insurance information systems. As an example, one of the integration links of Human Resources and OHSMS systems might share annual ANSI/ASSE Z10-2012 (R2017)
48、 7 information to each other to determine how company managers may have performed relative to last years organizational safety and health objectives and to set appropriate safety and health objectives for the coming year. Examples of aspects over which employees may have control include working with
49、in procedures, communicating concerns, and reporting problems, injuries and near miss events 3.2 Employee Participation (1-4) The organization shall establish a process to ensure effective participation in the OHSMS by its employees at all levels of the organization, including those working closest to the hazards by: A. Providing employees and employee representatives employed by the organization with the mechanisms, time, and resources necessary to participate in, at a minimum, the processes of: Planning (4.0); Implementation (5.0); Evaluation, correct
