Audit Tool for ILO-OHS 2001 Occupational Healt & Safety
Guidelines on OSH management systems have been developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) according to internationally agreed principles defined by the ILO's tripartite constituents. This tripartite approach provides the strength, flexibility and appropriate basis for the development of a sustainable safety culture in the organization. The ILO has developed voluntary guidelines on OSH management systems that reflect ILO values and instruments relevant to the protection of workers' safety and health.
The practical recommendations of these guidelines are intended for use by anyone who has responsibility for occupational safety and health management. The guidelines are not legally binding and are not intended to replace any laws, regulations or otherwise accepted standards.
Their application does not require certification. Employers are accountable for and have a duty to organize occupational safety and health. The implementation of an OSH management system is one useful approach in fulfilling this duty. The ILO has designed these guidelines as a practical tool for assisting organizations and competent institutions as a means of achieving continual improvement in OSH performance.
