This document discusses OHSAS 18001, an international occupational health and safety management system standard. It summarizes that OHSAS 18001 provides a framework for identifying and controlling health and safety risks through a plan-do-check-act model. Implementing an OHSAS 18001 system can help organizations reduce health and safety risks and liability costs while improving performance and protecting their reputation. The document outlines the key elements and implementation process for an OHSAS 18001 system.

Corporate
Culture
Examining its effects on safety performance
By Judith A. Erickson
SAFETY PERFORMANCE is divided into two
aspects: safety program elements and safety process
elements (Erickson, 2006). The program elements
deal with basic safety functioning: regulations, legis-
lation, training, audits and related items. These ele-
ments are considered hard skills and are under
control of the safety professional. The process ele-
ments are the underlying factors within an organi-
zation that either help or hinder the safety effort.
These soft skills are indicators of the corporate cul-
ture, and they are not under the safety professional’s
control (Erickson, 1994).
To achieve optimal safety functioning, both cultur-
al elements and compliance issues must be
addressed. The scientific evidence is overwhelming
that both hard and soft skills are needed to attain opti-
mal safety and business performance (Erickson, 1994;
2001; Shannon, Mayr & Haines, 1997; DeJoy, Schaffer,
Wilson, et al., 2003; Vredenburgh, 2002; Zohar &
Luria, 2004; Parker, Axtell & Turner, 2001; Hofmann &
Morgeson, 1999; Hofmann, Morgeson & Gerras, 2003;
Turner & Parker, 2003; Maierhofer, Griffin & Sheehan,
2000; Maister, 2001; Drucker, 1954; O’Toole, 1996;
Maister, 1997; Buckingham & Coffman, 1999).
However, some in the technical or engineering
fields believe that soft skills are not measurable by
any standard technique or protocol. Within acade-
mia, natural and physical research scientists often
posit this view when discussing the social sciences.
Yet, with rigorous research design and protocol,
social scientists can conduct scientific research that is
quantitatively and statistically equivalent to that of
natural and physical scientists. Through such meth-
ods, the effects of these soft skills have been statisti-
cally correlated with safety performance and
organizational functioning. These measurements are
available to researchers to help organizations im-
prove their safety and business performance.

Operational risk management is a rising priority for companies in asset-intensive industry segments. Disparate and disconnected efforts in safety, environmental compliance, and asset utilization at the individual facility are converging to provide better enterprise-wide control and management accountability. Companies that make substantial efforts today will not only improve risk mitigation but create an enduring competitive advantage.

- Understand how core values relate to safety; and
- Know what kind of leadership drives safety performance
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, companies face a constant challenge to manage various aspects of their operations efficiently. From quality control and environmental compliance to health and safety standards, each domain has its own set of rules and regulations to adhere to. Managing these aspects independently can be overwhelming and costly. From this chaos, a systematic managable approach Integrated Management System (IMS) comes into play. An IMS is a comprehensive framework that combines multiple management systems into one, streamlining processes and ensuring better business outcomes.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
