Safety audit: new features
February 1st 2008 RoSPA has introduced new
features to its flagship
health and safety
management audit system.
The Quality Safety Audit
provides an in-depth
analysis of the specific
factors at the heart of an
organisation's safety
performance, assessing them
against the principles of
HSG65, BS8800 and OHSAS
18001.
The new developments
are founded on RoSPA's
belief that good
performance and continuous
improvement in health and
safety management should
be both encouraged and
recognised.
Organisations
implementing QSA have the
option of applying for a QSA
Award, which serves as a
public declaration of their
achievement. Insurance
company AIG UK is offering
lower premiums to
organisations achieving
Platinum (formerly Level 4)
or Diamond (formerly Level
5) QSA Awards.
Another new feature will
be the presentation of
Platinum and Diamond
certificates at an evening
ceremony at RoSPA's
Occupational Health and
Safety Awards (NEC in May,
Scotland in September). More articles from RoSPA: |
