suggested sources for the objective evidence to support your
evaluation: Documents: organizational safety manuals and
instructions, Safe Operating Procedures, and Job Hazard Analyses;
Records: emails or letters from management to employees, safety
meeting minutes, mishap logs, audit reports, OSHA citations,
inspection reports, risk assessments, and training records;
Interviews: management personnel, supervisors, and employees; and
Observation: walk through some workplaces to observe conditions for
yourself. 2. For each management system element, discuss the
objective evidence you found (or were unable to find). Evaluate the
effectiveness of the organization’s implementation of each element
against available reference sources and best practice information.
Use the following five-tier evaluation scheme to rate each element:
World Class: OHS Performance Strong: Conforming/complete, may
have minor gaps with action plans Moderate: Scattered
non-conformances need to be addressed, positive trends/major
elements in place Significant Non-Conformances Exist: still needs
focus Major Effort Required: major or systemic non-conformances
exist Appropriate references include the course textbook, textbooks
from other college-level courses, ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005, other
published consensus standards (ANSI, ASSE, AIHA, ISO, NFPA, etc.),
OSHA standards and voluntary guidelines, and articles published in
professional journals. Blogs, Wikipedia, About.com, Ask.com, and
other unmonitored Internet resources are not considered scholarly
references and should not be used. Please contact your professor if
you have any questions about the appropriateness of a reference
source. 3. If an element is found to be less than World Class,
provide recommendations for improvement. Be sure to use appropriate
scholarly reference sources to support your recommendations. 4.
Conclude the audit report with a summary of the overall status of
the organization’s safety management system. The Course Project
must be a minimum of seven pages, and a maximum of 10 pages, not
including the title, abstract, and reference pages. A minimum of
five professional references/sources must be used. Follow APA
formatting for the paper, as well as for all references and in-text
citations.
