Manufacturing and operating policy

• Design/selection/construction/maintenance of premises, plant, equipment and substances

• Quality management

• Environment management and waste disposal

Information management and systems

• Identification of data critical to the management of health and safety

• Selection of appropriate performance indicators

• Use of information technology in the collection and analysis of essential data.

Organizations carry out

• Safety Audit• Safety Survey• Safety Inspection• Safety Tour• Safety Sampling• HAZOP

GOPAL DUTT PANDEY


• Safety SurveySafety Survey: Detailed examination of a narrower field of activity-e.g.- key areas revealed by safety audits

• Safety InspectionSafety Inspection: Routine inspection-work is being carried in accordance with procedures etc.

• Safety TourSafety Tour: Unscheduled examination-hazards are removed-standards are removed

GOPAL DUTT PANDEY


• Safety SamplingSafety Sampling: Trained observers record the number of safety defects seen while touring specified locations by a prescribed route. Typically tours last for 15 min. and are conducted at weekly intervals. The unweighted count of defects is used to portray trends in the safety situation.
