The case of an integrated approach to Health and Safety management often Occupational Health (OH) and Health and Safety (H & S) functions within an organization, different departments, working together and sharing information only on a reactive when running – by case basis. Today, this “isolated” approach ever considered, as there may be people to play, expose organizations to increased costs and unnecessary demands. Many organizations are considering these disciplines together to share resources, information and expertise. This “holistic” approach extended H and OH & S practice allows better management of staff and facilitate the needs of the best interventions. This approach allows quick and safe return to work and allows employers to adopt a proactive approach to employee health and productivity is increasing. Mechanisms should be created, for example, so that accidents, injuries or illnesses effectively covered. If there is a violation, then, that the injury is what the impact will be assessed to the person the task is actually carried out exclusively by the department of H & S. This should be done with a contribution from a clinical standpoint, it should be integration between H & S and Occupational Health Departments. If so, that the person does not perform in the position of their normal duties, then, must be a communication on health and H & S to their managers who have to see the participation of human resources department, if a different role may be created for that person. It is important to set the price, look for the role and financial implications of replacing that person in their original function. It is also a commitment to review the situation, which again prevented, and this brings us back to integration. There must be a flow of information to the relevant parts of the organization to the case of an integrated health system management and system security we need for the activities carried out sometimes in isolation, but consider that could be better with some kind of cohesion test. It is not uncommon for all isolates of the following activities will be carried out or where an organization in different databases or on paper: ? ? ? ? absence management issues PPE training records ? ? ? ? accident and ? ? incident detection Hygiene Monitoring Work restrictions ? ? ? ? HR and personnel functions of inventory risk ? ? ? ? ? oversight assessments of population health can ? ? ? line and records management, refer all these activities, either directly or indirectly. Failure to do so means that it is very often a part of an organization known for making the whole image, which is a very dangerous situation in the climate of controversy today. It is often worse for an organization to know about something and not do it, not knowing. The key to many of the records defined above is risk assessments. This point of view of a process, operation or activity and break it down into component tasks. They see the potential dangers associated with this task and to assess the risk to individuals participating in activities. Risk is assessed on the basis of a potential risk of harm,. This may involve monitoring of levels of exposure to hazards or risk assessment as “dangerous” in the physical sense. The first approach is to eliminate the danger or replace them with something less dangerous, or change the task to be less “room for risky activities, but without them, a prerequisite for something between the worker and the hazard. Guards This can be physical, exhaust other methods of screening, or PSA. These controls must be maintained and tested as appropriate. Having done that the staff in the use of equipment or PPE, so it is correctly applied, will train I. e. must secure. safety practices should be defined and communicated. Employees of the completion of the task must be identified so that these exercises can be performed. If these things are present, there are other actions to be carried out to ensure that the method is effective. routine health checks will ensure that exposure levels do not exceed the limits of risk assessment. cause analysis of accidents and incidents and other data that contribute to the fact that PPE, barriers , guards and other physical controls are effective and to identify whether they held safe work practices, and that employees are adequately trained. health monitoring will determine whether the health of employees are adequately protected. ID vulnerable populations is essential to ensure that all people have adequate control. health surveillance is also used to determine if employees are suited to the task of verifying whether other health problems that means there should be the application can have a specific activity. also help monitor disease, deficiencies in the process. Any work related accidents or illnesses which again is related to the risk assessment to ensure they never happen again. to identify vulnerable groups so that all injuries and illnesses associated risks and liabilities. availability of human resources company data can help achieve this. It is important that all risk assessments should be examined with similar risks, and databases are available to adequately must maintain, and shared key fields should be set so that the cross-reference is possible. This is an integrated system in play. If it shows a lack of risk control, corrective action is necessary to create and adapt accordingly evaluation if necessary. The above analysis of the key benefits of an integrated approach to health and safety management and identifies some of the risks and dangers not agree with these principles.
