B. Review Comments
This code of practice represents the Chemical Industry Association’s (CIA) version of the International Council of Chemical Association’s (ICCA) Responsible Care program. The documents provided by the CIA include a both a guidance and self-assessment document. These documents are more comprehensive than the United States counterparts reviewed in this report.
As stated in these documents:
The guidance describes the key requirements of an HS&E management system for Responsible Care that should be considered by an organisation and, where appropriate to their activities, incorporated into their own management system.
"The guidance [included here] includes the requirements of:
‘Successful Health and Safety Management’ HS(G)65; 1997
Eco-Management and Audit scheme (EMAS); 1993
ISO 14001:1996, Environmental Management Systems
BS8800:1996, Guide to Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems"
The structure of the code of practice closely resembles BS8800 in structure and content. Useful development and implementation notes are provided throughout these documents.
Guidance clauses/recommendations are stated as "should" clauses. Even though "should" statements are used, this can be considered a audible code/system by virtue of the self assessment guide that is provided along with the guidance document.
This is a strong system. They OHSMS variable not explicitly address is medical program and surveillance.
