Abstract

Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) Standards such as ANSI Z10 provide a framework for an employer to manage and continuously improve occupational health and safety performance. The risk management principles of ISO Standard 310002009 adhere to the iterative approach of, and are foundational to, OHSMS Standards. They provide a systematic methodology to identify hazards, analyze and evaluate risk and apply risk control methods. This paper discusses the integration of OHSMS and risk management principles into electrical safety.
