Health and safety management Systems OHSMS ISO 45001.pdfCascotec.com
Health and safety management systems (HSMS) are critical for protecting the health and well-being of employees in the workplace. An HSMS involves a systematic approach to managing health and safety risks in the workplace, including the development of policies and procedures, training and education, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of performance. ISO 45001 is an internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) that provides a framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their health and safety management system.

OHSAS 18000 is an internationally applied British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It was developed in 1999 in response to demands for a recognizable standard that could be audited and certified. OHSAS 18000 consists of two components - OHSAS 18001, which specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety management system, and OHSAS 18002, which provides guidance for implementing 18001. The fundamental elements of 18001 are based on the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle and include establishing an OH&S policy, planning actions, implementing and operating the OH&S system, checking performance, and conducting management reviews. An effective OHSAS system provides structure for managing health
The quality improvement organization (QIO) has alerted the hospital that it is under review for overutilizing healthcare services for Medicare patients. The hospital should take several steps: assess the situation by examining organizational structures and processes; confirm if there is a problem and take steps to correct it; and ensure the situation is corrected ongoing. When developing a compliance program, organizations should include the seven key elements: establish standards and controls; provide oversight and ensure compliance; conduct due diligence in hiring; provide training and communication; perform auditing and monitoring; use discipline and incentives; and take corrective action to prevent future issues. This helps organizations avoid legal actions and have an effective ethics and compliance program.
Compliance refers to adhering to policies, regulations, and standards. While businesses face compliance risks across many areas, regulatory compliance poses the greatest risk. Regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the Affordable Care Act impact many operations and are complex. Non-compliance can result in fines, penalties, reputational harm, operational issues, and legal risks. To ensure compliance, companies must document processes and procedures to demonstrate adherence to rules. If unsure of compliance in all risk areas, companies should conduct an assessment to identify gaps and develop a remediation plan, as specialized knowledge is often required.
The document discusses occupational health and safety (OHS) management in the construction industry. It notes that over 2 million workers die annually from work-related accidents or illnesses. Construction sites pose risks such as falls and cuts. Poor OHS management can lead to losses from accidents including damage to public image, production losses, and increased insurance costs. Common causes of accidents include lack of training and protective equipment, and production priorities overriding safety. The document advocates implementing an integrated OHS management system based on the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle per ISO 45001 standards to improve safety performance and compliance.
The document provides guidance on developing an occupational health and safety (OHS) management system, including templates and fact sheets on various OHS topics. It discusses the importance of managing OHS risks, outlines the basic steps of risk management as identifying hazards, assessing risks, controlling risks, and reviewing controls, and provides templates for a safety management self-assessment, hazard register, job safety analysis, and other OHS tools.

Psychological Health and Safety: An Action Guide for EmployersCCOHS
Listen to the recorded webinar of this presentation at: http://staging.ccohs.ca/products/webinars/psych/
We have made significant progress in addressing workplace factors that impact the physical health and safety of employees; now we need to give similar attention to psychological health.
Psychological health concerns have a powerful and expanding impact on the safety, productivity and effectiveness of the workplace.
To provide employers with guidance that includes practical, accessible and actionable recommendations, the Mental Health Commission of Canada-Workforce Advisory Committee has requested the creation of a resource based on a review of the latest scientific evidence and professional practices. Psychological Health and Safety: An Action Guide for Employers is a free online resource that is available to all Canadian employers regardless of size, sector or location.
The guide provides logical implementation steps, with emphasis on clear, realistic actions that are consistent with current knowledge and are supportive of the national standard for psychological health and safety.
This presentation by the guide authors will include a brief description of the underlying research and framework, an overview of the contents, and recommendations for application and dissemination.
Organizations that implement some of the recommended actions will be encouraged to share their experiences in order to inspire and instruct others.
The document compares WHMIS and OSHA labeling requirements to the Global Harmonized System (GHS) requirements and provides guidance on transitioning labels to the GHS. It reviews key label elements under each system such as signal words, pictograms, hazard and precautionary statements. It recommends starting to use GHS statements now where appropriate and adding any OSHA-specific information required to begin preparing labels for the GHS implementation.

Implementing Healthy Eating Programs in the WorkplaceCCOHS
What a person eats, how active they are, genetics and the environment in which they live, work and play all have a role in determining whether or not a person is at a healthy body weight. With adults spending a large amount of time at work and consuming at least one meal a day in addition to one or two snacks, workplaces are an ideal venue to promote healthy food choices.
These slides are from an October 13, 2010 webinar held during Canada's Healthy Workplace Month.
Heather Harvey of the Ontario Public Health Association discusses healthy eating in the workplace and how to successfully implement healthy eating programs. She draws on experiences learned through the Eat Smart!® Workplace Program, a healthy eating award program for Ontario workplaces. Even if your workplace is outside of Ontario, you will find value in the lessons learned and strategies discussed for starting and maintaining interest in your own healthy eating program.

Best Practices for New Worker Orientation and TrainingCCOHS
New workers are at much higher risk of injury, especially in their first month on the job. Males and younger workers face even greater risks. Common new worker injuries include traumatic injuries, burns, and cuts. Education and training can help reduce these risks. For example, graduated driver licensing programs for teens have significantly reduced crash rates. Effective orientation and training for new workers should be meaningful, personalized, involve demonstrations and mentoring, and include follow up. It is important for workplaces to provide proper safety training and for safety to be taught in schools to raise awareness.
Solutions for Improving Mental Health in the WorkplaceCCOHS
Mental health is an organizational, social and personal concern for the workplace and workers. Psychosocial stress is an occupational hazard to which overexposure leads to strain, illness and disability, and can be prevented. This presentation outlines some ideas and solutions that have been researched and collated from a number of global and Canadian research, analysis and publications. Presented at the Alberta Health and Safety Conference on October 28, 2009.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent 43% of all WSIB lost time injuries in Ontario. And in fact, most provincial jurisdictions in Canada report similar findings. Given that MSD hazards exist in workplaces, recognition and control of them must be an integral part of a workplace’s health and safety system. However, all too often, because of the subtle and cumulative nature of these hazards, they do not receive the attention necessary to motivate action.
This free webinar will discuss how Ontario’s health and safety system has engaged its partners to coordinate their efforts to implement an MSD prevention strategy that includes access to prevention resources such as the MSD Prevention Guideline for Ontario and sector specific materials, integration into WSIB prevention services and enforcement by the Ministry of Labour.
Although the session will focus on Ontario’s experience at enforcing MSD hazards through its health and safety legislation, anyone with an interest in preventing musculoskeletal hazards in the workplace will gain an understanding of the vast array of MSD prevention resources that are available.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
