Introduction to Management Systems
Implementing a management system can seem like a daunting task, but it need not be. Management systems are tools that help an organization continually improve its health, safety and environmental performance. They contain organizational elements that follow a continuous cycle of planning, implementing, checking, and improving.
This module introduces the basic elements of health, safety and environmental management systems, describing the main components of management systems and how they can benefit an organization. It then outlines the key steps in a management system certification process. The course finishes with a self-evaluation to help you determine if you are ready to begin this process.
Elements of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System
A management system improves your ability to identify and remove hazards and decrease health and safety risk at the workplace. This module helps you to understand:
- How a management system can benefit your organization
- The commitment and resources you will need in order to successfully implement a management system
- How you can adapt the management system to suit the specific needs of your organization
This module uses a case-study approach that guides you through the implementation process. Checklists also help you to understand the steps in detail.
Elements of an Environmental Management System
Environmental management systems (EMSs) are designed to continually identify and control environmental hazards and decrease their associated risks at the workplace. This module helps you to understand:
- How a management system can benefit your organization
- The commitment and resources you will need in order to successfully implement a management system
- How you can adapt the management system to suit the specific needs of your organization
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the differences between a program and a management system
- Demonstrate leadership in the development and implementation of a health and safety/environmental management system
- Understand the PDCA approach used in management system standards
