Typical non-conformances faced by many organizations are poor control on the legal & other requirements documents & poor follow up on the latest updates This may results in legal non-compliance, unaware by the organization
Establish & maintain documented OH&S objectives, at relevant function & levels Quantified (where practicable) Consistent with OH&S policy, including commitment to continual improvement Examples:
a) Reduction of risk levels b) Elimination or reduction in frequency of particular incident(s)
Similar requirements as specified in ISO 14001 Establish programs to achieve objectives Programs must have time-frame, people responsibility & tasks be documented Review regularly, adjustment & correction where necessary till objectives achieved.
