OSM - Haven - Groups at particular risk and emergency preparedness

Objective

Groups at particular risk have been a key priority for the PSA since 2007.

The object of the initiative was for the PSA to help reduce the risk of injury and sickness for groups at particular risk by monitoring that the companies develop a comprehensive picture of the risk of sickness and injury for groups of employees, and that new knowledge is used proactively in a risk-based approach in which efforts are focused on groups where the needs and impacts are largest.

The object of the activity was to verify that OSM has established a functioning control system. The control system must ensure that risk factors for different groups of employees are identified, mapped and followed up so that occupational health and safety are properly provided for. In addition, the object was to verify the facility's emergency preparedness organisation, equipment and systems that provide preparedness functionality.

Result

The audit identified two non-conformities relating to OHAS competence and cooperation between the different company health services. Five improvement points were also identified.

Non-conformity:

Entails that a condition is assessed as not complying with a regulatory requirement.

Improvement point:

Entails that we have identified a deficiency or weakness, without there being sufficient grounds for determining a breach of regulatory requirements.
