Questions? We have answers.
What is a safety standard?
A safety standard is a set of requirements established and published by an organisation or agency to serve as criteria for measuring whether employers are in compliance with the Occupational Health & Safety requirements and good practices.
Regulations are also one kind of standard with sets of regulatory requirements, but they are either statutory or obligatory in nature.
Other than standards, there are Codes or Code of Conduct (CoC), Protocol and Guidelines; which also set the requirements as criteria for implementation. They are almost similar in nature and application varies depending on the organisations who issue them.
Guidelines are generally not mandatory in nature, but shows the way to follow.
Globally, there are many organisations who develop and issue safety standards. Few international organisations are ILO, OSHA, ISO, HSE, NFPA, BIS, BSI. The ILO has adopted more than 40 standards specifically dealing with occupational safety and health, as well as over 40 Codes of Practice.
What are mandatory safety standards?
The country specific legal requirements in the form of Act, Rules, Regulations are considered as statutory and mandatory safety standards. Each and every organisation has to meet each of the applicable requirements without any exception.
There are obligatory requirements on certain industries or member of the industry associations or groups, which becomes mandatory for a certain group of organisations.
What is voluntary safety standards?
A voluntary safety standard is a set of criteria which an organisation adopts for its own benefits; not directly out of compulsion. Generally organisations with high level of leadership adopts many voluntary safety standards to prepare, improve and benchmark their safety performance as a continuous process.
