B. Review Comments
This Code of Practice has been developed by the Chemical Manufactures’ Association. Its purpose is stated as:
The goal of the Employee Health sand Safety Code of Management Practices is to protect and promote the health and safety of people working or visiting member company work sites.
To achieve this goal, the Code provides Management Practices designed to continuously improve work site health and safety. These practices provide a multidisciplinary means to identify and assess hazards, prevent unsafe acts and conditions, maintain and improve employee health, and foster communication on health and safety issues.
Implementation of the Employee Health and Safety Code, together with other Codes of Management Practices, can enable member companies to operate in a manner that further protects and promotes the health and safety of employees, contractors, and the public, and protects the environment.
This is a short Code of Practice. Three pages.
It is comprehensive and uses "shall" statements.
Missing system variables include:
- regulatory, compliance and OHSMS conformance
- goals and objectives
- hazardous agent management
- integration.
Continual improvement is stated in the preamble, but not in the Management Practices category.
Self-inspections not explicitly mentioned.
