B. Review Comments
SafetyMap has been developed by the Health and Safety Organisation, Victoria (HSO) to present the characteristics of health and safety systems that are effective, comprehensive, and cost efficient. Using audit criteria methods common to quality programs, SafetyMap provides organisations with a practical tool to improve their health and safety performance.
SafetyMap (Safety Management Achievement Program) is a system that enables organisations of all sizes to:
1. assess the scope and effectiveness of their health and safety policies and operations;
2. plan improvements to these operations;
3. develop benchmarking standards; and,
4. gain recognition of the standards achieved.
Management system variables not explicitly contained in SafetyMap’s 12 elements are:
4.0 Goals and Objectives;
5.0 Performance Measures; and,
14.0 Continual Improvement.
Continual improvement is identified in SafetyMap’s front-end material.
SafetyMap is used in an HSO certification program, there are three levels of certification: 1) initiation level; 2) transition level; and, 3) advanced level.
