CSA Z1000:14 (R2019)
Occupational health and safety management
Product Details
Overview:
CSA Z1000 - Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems – has been designed to help organizations improve their occupational health & safety performance and reduce workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities. It is the core component in our series of OHS standards that address training, hazard identification, risk management, workplace ergonomics, and other key disciplines following the Plan-Do-Check-Act Model that aids in building a more effective OHS Management System.
Who Should Use CSA Z1000:
CSA Z1000 is applicable to organizations of all sizes, in virtually any industry. While your business may not pose clear or obvious risks to workers, every workplace has inherent risks that need to be effectively identified and managed to help keep workers safe.
Highlights of Z1000:
• Harmonized with other safety standards such as CSA Z1001 and Z1002
• Provides clarification of nonconformities with explanation of the distinction between “corrective” and “preventive” actions
• Guidance on worker participation in OHSMS-related activities, including involvement of health & safety committees
• Provides an expansion of the requirements for OHSMS management review and plans for continual improvement
• Addresses hazard elimination, risk identification and assessment and the concept of “residual risk” as that remaining after all controls have been implemented (ref. CSA Z1002)
• Provides competency requirements for OHSMS auditors (both internal and external)
• Details provisions and guidance for internal and external audits, including audit program components and selection of the auditor
• Introduces a new table detailing the corresponding clauses between Z1000 and the other standards in the Z1000 series (Annex D)
• Expanded procurement and contracting requirements
Preface
This is the second edition of CSA Z1000, Occupational health and safety management. It supersedes the first edition published in 2006.
As a fundamental concept, and to identify the inclusiveness of an occupational health and safety management system, this Standard defines occupational health and safety as: the promotion in the workplace of the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of workers and the protection of workers from, and the prevention of, workplace conditions and factors adverse to their health and safety.
Many organizations have a system in which the workplace parties are accountable for health and safety within their respective control or authority. When used in this context, CSA Z1000 provides a model for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an occupational health and safety management system. Such a system encourages a more systematic approach to meeting defined occupational health and safety objectives and increases awareness of health and safety in the workplace. It can also assist organizations seeking certification under federal, provincial, and sector-based certification programs (e.g., Certificates of Recognition).
New to this edition are as follows:
a) Harmonization with new management system standards in CSA's Z1000 series.
b) Clarification of nonconformities and an explanation of the distinction between corrective actions and preventive actions.
c) Expansion of the requirements for OHSMS management review and plans for continual improvement.
d) Guidance on worker participation including the involvement of health and safety committees.
e) Addressing hazard elimination, risk identification and assessment and the concept of residual risk as that remaining after all controls have been implemented.
f) Provisions and guidance for both internal and external audits, including audit program components and selection of auditor.
g) Competency requirements for OHSMS auditors (both internal and external).
h) A table laying out the corresponding clauses between Z1000 and the other standards in the Z1000 series (Annex D).
i) Expansion of procurement and contracting requirements.
