ISA 2000 represents a departure from the usual approach to managing health and safety. Its starting point is not legislation but good management practice. The rationale for this is simple - occupational health and safety legislation is invariably based on good practice, but not all good practice is enshrined in legislation. Logically, therefore, using good practice as the starting point should result in a more comprehensive and effective control system which automatically ensures compliance with the law - and this is what ISA 2000 provides. It also provides an extremely useful mechanism for complying with the new OH&S standard for BSI - OHSAS 1800l.

The system contains a set of initiatives, comprising 233 individual elements, which cover the entire spectrum of occupational health and safety. These are laid out in a formal structure that facilitates the building of the system and auditing it later on. Volume 1 contains those elements that should be implemented as part of the health and safety management system of any company in any industry sector. They have been selected to provide management controls against the general hazards encountered in all workplaces, large or small, and as such reflect minimum compliance with fundamental safety law. Volume 2 contains further elements that may need to be included for reasons of legal requirement, or the particular circumstances of the organization such as the industry sector. The elements are described in detail, with practical advice on how they can be implemented, together with samples of procedures, forms and checklists.

ISA 2000 is a practical approach to health and safety, enabling busy managers to organize effectively their existing efforts and ensuring that scarce resources are deployed in the most cost-effective manner. Can you afford to be without it?

Reviews
'... it is a valuable publication that anyone responsible for managing health and safety could profitably read. For those who use a system, it is a valuable document, against which to measure the system they use.' Health and Safety Review, March 2000

'The calibre of the authors shows through in the clear and concise presentation of the topics within ISA 2000. Any newcomer to the topic should have no difficulty getting to grips with it … This reviewer has taken the opportunity to use some of the chapters - such as the ones on "audit" and "accident management initiatives" - and found them to be first class.' Safety and Health Practitioner, September 2001
