IOSH
- IOSH is a Chartered professional membership organisation, that sets a competency frame work and standards for Health and Safety Professionals and prescribes levels of qualifications, competencies (skills and experience) and schemes of continuing professional development .
- This ensures that the level of advice and guidance given by our members is of the highest standard, quality and up to date with current legislation and good practice.
- The Rules of IOSH and therefore the competency requirements and grade of membership are governed by a Royal Charter (decree) issued by the Monarch .

Is regulation and Management of Occupational Safety and Health a good thing?
- UK has a good balance of Prevention and Protection Regulation and Management.
- It is not over prescriptive but based on risk assessments and what is reasonably practicable.
- There is a calculation based on the hazard, the severity of harm and likelihood of such harm occurring.
- Prevention and Protection controls need to be proportionate to the risk.

GB statistics for 2010/11
- 1.2 Million working people were suffering from work related illness
- 171 people were killed at work
- 12,000 people die each year as a result of occupational exposure ( latent deaths)
- 115,000 injuries resulting in 3 or more days of work
- 26.4 Million working days lost due to work related illness and work place injury
![Page 10: the heart of health and safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815711550346895dc4b104/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Burden of these statistics
The social cost to employees and their families
- loss of life
- life long injury/illness
- health and medical care
- loss of earning
- impact on the family
The cost to business
- stopped production
- repair work
- damaged to equipment
- replacing staff
- retraining staff
- reputation/lost business

The cost to GB
The estimated cost to the economy for work related illness and injury is around £22 billion a year
GDP for 2009 was £1,406 billion
So the cost to the economy for work related illnessand injuries is around 1.5% of GDP!
![Page 12: the heart of health and safety](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815711550346895dc4b104/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Global Cost
- 2.3 million people killed by workplace accidents and diseases
- 337 million workplace accidents
- 160 million people affected by occupational disease
- around 4% of world GDP = cost of occupational accidents and diseases

Cost Saving of Good health and safety legislation and management
- Global cost of poor health and safety is 4% of GDP
- UK cost of poor health and safety is 1.5% of GDP
- So if UK did not have the current legislative and management frame work the cost of poor health and safety could be as much as 4% GDP ie £56 billion compared to current cost of £22 billion.
- That is a saving of £35 billion or 2.5% of GDP

PDCA
- Plan: Policy planning Hazard identification and risk assessment
- Do : Implement and operation of control measures
- Check: Performance assessment, input, outputs and outcomes
- Act: review performance and plan do things need to be changed

Summary of Key points of Developing an OSHMS
- Remember management systems are not a universal remedy!
- Make sure the system is adapted to suit the organisation or company
- Focus on preventive and protection measures – not on the system itself
- Don’t forget worker participation – an OSHMS can’t work properly without communication.
- All employees at all levels of the organisation should be aware of what their responsibilities are and how they can participate.
