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. This volume (Volume 2) is
intended for those who have already set up a basic health and safety
management system but who need to expand it, either for reasons of good
management or because of the specific legal requirements of their
particular industry sector. 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 and can be used easily in conjunction with
this volume. 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
'the quality of presentation is excellent. Easy to understand and
assimilate, the text is logical and practical for both training and
reference purposes. Intelligently designed procedures and programmes
encourage further critical and creative thought and development. The two
volumes complement each other well and constitute an essential addition to
all conscientious organisations' health and safety training resources.'
