Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems<br />
BrPA has an effective Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) that is<br />
internally reviewed on an annual basis. External agencies are encouraged to audit the OSHMS to<br />
ensure continuity and effectiveness for both stakeholders and the organisation, and to promote their<br />
own commitment to safety. The last external audit was conducted July 2010.<br />
Significant findings <strong>of</strong> this audit were as follows:<br />
• Incident Investigation - Ensure all investigators receive training – 1 day Investigation<br />
program.<br />
• Determine a Quantitative measurement for the success and value <strong>of</strong> the procedures.<br />
• Apply a Quantitative, rather than Qualitative, measurement that has a criteria to determine<br />
the SUCCESS and VALUE <strong>of</strong> the procedure/process/policy to the organisation.<br />
