Occupational Health and Safety Systems
Welcome to the American Industrial Hygiene Association's Occupational Health and Safety Systems Committee website. On this site you will find committee minutes and related links.
The scope of the committee is to develop a standard of management principles and systems to help organizations design and implement deliberate and documented approaches to continuously improve their occupational health and safety (OHS) performance. The standard will enable organizations to integrate OHS management into their overall business management systems; it will focus on principles that are broadly applicable to organizations of all sizes and types, not on detailed specifications. The standard will be compatible with relevant OHS, environmental, and quality management standards (e.g., ISO 9000 and14000), and with approaches to OHS management in common use in the U.S.
