ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005 is the voluntary consensus standard developed and followed in the United States. It has a primary focus on helping organizations minimize their risk of occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities. Key characteristics that define Z10 include focus on management leadership roles, effective employee participation, design review and change. It provides a tool to help organizations establish and improve occupational health and safety performance.
Z10 implementation focuses on assisting organizations in executing Occupational Health & Safety Management System strategies, helping organizations benchmark safety procedures and practices, and identifying areas where hazard prevention and control is needed. Implementation and execution of the standards’ core specifications will help companies identify areas in their management system where hazardous risk, lost time occurrences and safety weaknesses may lie.
Based on the Plan–Do-Check-Act management system model, Z10 can be incorporated into companies with an already existing OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001, or ISO 14001 system:
- OHSAS 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system. Registration to this standard enables companies to identify and control health and safety risks, while at the same time promote employee well-being and a safe work environment. Companies that have an OHSAS system have integrated Z10 to enable them to identify safety risks and hazardous concerns above and beyond their existing system.
- ISO 9001 is the quality management system. As quality, risk, and safety go hand in hand, companies utilize the commonalties of management reviews, corrective and preventive actions, internal audits, and other processes to incorporate ANSI Z10 into their existing quality and health & safety systems.
- ISO 14001 is an environmental management system that assists companies in planning, monitoring and continually improving their competitive position and environmental performance.
