Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health
Managements Systems ILO-OSH 2001
These guidelines should contribute to the protection ofworkers from hazards and to the elimination of work-related injuries, ill health, diseases, incidents and deaths.
At national level, the guidelines should:
(a) be used to establish a national framework for OSH managementsystems, preferably supported by national laws and regulations
(b) provide guidance for the development of voluntary arrangements tostrengthen compliance with regulations and standards leading tocontinual improvement in OSH performance
(c) provide guidance on the development of both national and tailoredguidelines on OSH management systems to respond appropriately tothe real needs of organizations, according to their size and the natureof their activities.
