The document discusses key elements of an effective health and safety (H&S) management system for quarries. It outlines that a systems approach involves inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback. The key elements include developing an H&S policy, organizing the structure and responsibilities, planning implementation through risk assessment and legal compliance, measuring performance against objectives, and reviewing performance through auditing. International standards like OHSAS 18001 provide guidance on implementing an H&S management system with a focus on risk assessment, legal compliance, and setting objectives and training.

Health & Safety Health & Safety Management for Quarries
Name M Adeel Roll no 16-MCT-07 0322-6014822
H&S Management System: Definition “The means by which an organisation controls risk through the management process”. Health & Safety Executive
Safety Programmes • Traditional approach is the use of safety programmes. • Programmes are focused on compliance with standards/regulations • The performance of a programme is measured using (reactive) indicators such as the number of accidents, injuries etc.
Systems Approach • Four elements common to general systems theories are input, process, output and feedback.

Recent International Standards ISO 9000 Series: Quality Management Systems ISO 14000 Series: Environmental Management Systems
Standards consist of Specifications and Guidance • A specification is a “detailed set of requirements to be satisfied by a product, material, process or system, indicating the procedures for checking conformity to these requirements”. • A guidance document provides advice rather than a set of verifiable requirements and is designed as an internal management tool.
Recent Developments in H&S • In 1997 the ISO decided not to develop an OHSMS standard. • As a result many countries have developed their own. A recent survey identified 31 such standards.
BS 8800 • Produced by the BSI in 1996 • Written as a guidance document. • Based on the management systems models from both the HSE and ISO 14001.
BS 8800 Gives advice on: • How to evaluate shortcomings with an existing health & safety management system (OHSMS).

Both BS8800 and OHSAS 18001 identify three key. (1) Risk Assessment and Management The intent of this requirement is so that the organisation can appreciate all significant OH&S hazards facing it using the process of risk management.
(2) Legal requirements The organisation should identify all legal requirements applicable to it as well as any other industry or company specific requirements to which it subscribes.
(3) Health & Safety Objectives and Programmes Health and safety objectives are defined as “the goals in terms of H&S performance that an organisation sets itself to achieve and should be quantified wherever practicable”.
Training & Competence • The organisation should have effective procedures for ensuring the competence of personnel to carry out their designated functions. • Systematic identification of the competencies required by each employee. • Provision of training identified as being necessary. • Assessment of individuals to ensure that they have acquired and maintain the knowledge and skills necessary for the level of competence required. • The maintenance of appropriate training/skills records.
Operational control
Measuring Performance (1) The key purposes of measuring performance are to: Determine whether OH&S plans have been implemented and objectives achieved; Check that risk control measures are in place and are effective; Learn from system failures such as areas of non- compliance, accidents and incidents. Promote the implementation of plans and risk controls by providing feedback to all parties Provide information that can be used to review, and if necessary to improve aspects of an OH&S management system.
Measuring Performance (3) Investigating Accidents and Incidents • Organisations should have procedures for both the reporting and investigating of accidents and incidents. • The prime purpose of these procedures should be to prevent further occurrence of the situation by identifying and dealing with the root causes.
Auditing • OH&S auditing is a process whereby an organisation can review and continuously evaluate the effectiveness of their OH&S management system. • Safety auditing is a positive and proactive means of checking the safety performance of an organisation.
