2Hello, Tooday I am writing my 8th and final
blog for OHS 4500. I have learned so much so far and I will take this knowledge
and move on to my future classes. What I am going to talk about in this blog
are ISO statndards.
he International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting
body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.
Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes
worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards. It is
headquartered in Geneva,
Switzerland, and as of March 2017 works in 162 countries.
It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social
Council.
SO,
the International Organization for Standardization, is an independent,
non-governmental organization, the members of which are the standards
organizations of the 162 member countries. It is the world's largest developer
of voluntary international standards and facilitates world trade by providing
common standards between nations. Nearly twenty thousand standards have been
set covering everything from manufactured products and technology to food
safety, agriculture and healthcare
Use of the standards aids in the creation of products and
services that are safe, reliable and of good quality. The standards help
businesses increase productivity while minimizing errors and waste. By enabling
products from different markets to be directly compared, they facilitate companies
in entering new markets and assist in the development of global trade on a fair
basis. The standards also serve to safeguard consumers and the end-users of
products and services, ensuring that certified products conform to the minimum
standards set internationally.[5
ISO 9001: is the international
standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS).
Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently
provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
Iso 14001: Environment Management
System (EMS) standard is an internationally recognised environmental management
standard which was first published in 1996. It is a systematic framework to
manage the immediate and long term environmental impacts of an organisation's
products, services and processes.
ISO 45001: is an as yet unpublished
Occupational Health and Safety Management Standard, set to replace OHSAS 18001.
ANSI Z10: Occupational Health
and Safety Management Systems Standard (OHSMS) provides an overall blueprint
for widespread benefits in occupational safety and health, as well as in
productivity, financial performance, quality and other organizational and
business objectives
Is0 3600: specifies the content and
gives guidance on the format of operator's manuals for tractors, machinery for
agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and garden equipment. It is intended
to assist manufacturers of the machinery in the drafting and presentation of
these manuals. Manuals intended for use by a service technician are not within
the scope of this International Standard.

Like I said earlier, this is my last blog for the class. I have
learned so much from these past classes that I can use in the future. I am really
looking for to future OHS classes.
