Health Safety Environment Management System - HSE-MS
All companies manage safety, environmental protection or the health of their workers. They do it if only by complying with applicable legislation or doing nothing, which is also a system (then of non-management).
Every enterprise, in the course of its development, has introduced risk control methods to avoid accidents, or environmental pollution.
At some point in time, these methods, systems, and programmes of all sorts constitute an inextricable web whose complexity becomes counterproductive. Overlaps appear, relationships between the different elements in place are not clear.
There is therefore a need to put the system in order, and to structure everything so that every control measure regains its full meaning, and becomes framed in a complete and consistent set, the Management System.
This approach has proved useful in the area of Quality Management, which led to a definition of these systems in the ISO 9000 standard.
A similar approach in environmental protection has led to the development of the ISO 14001 standard, which codifies environmental management systems in a spirit of continual improvement.
As regards safety, the structuring effort has been based on the ISO 14001 standard, transposing it in the realm of accident control, and introducing risk analysis as a central element. The product of this is the OHSAS 18001 specification, which for various reasons has not been taken as an ISO standard, but has nevertheless been widely adopted as the reference standard for safety and occupational health Management Systems.
A Management System can therefore be defined as a structured set of measures taken or recommended to achieve an initially defined result, guaranteeing stability of this result in order to be able to set even more stringent results, in other words implementing a process of continual improvement.
