Jisc-mailers,
Good morning and further to the thread on benchmarking:
There is also the BSI's OHSAS18001 specification, but similar to
BS8800, it is tailored to the strategic management system and not nuts
and bolts applicatoin (and so is similar to HSG65 in approach).
You could try the more global ILO's Convention 161 'Occ. Health
Services', but again it's moving more and more towards top level
aspirational goals.
kind regards,
Lorenzo Visentin

Subject: Benchmarking
Sue Hiorns asked about benchmarking in occupational health:
A good place to start would be with the standard for occupational health
and safety, BS 8800:1996, which according to BSI "Provides
non-certifiable
guidance based on OH & S management systems, their design,
implementation
and integration within the overall management system based on risk
management."
Then there are the WHO publication "The Role of the OH Nurse in
Workplace
Health Management" (2001);
"Competency Standards for OH Nurses" published by the Australian
College of
OH Nurses; and
"Audit Matrix for Evaluating Finnish OH Units" by Martimo K-P, Scand J
Work
Environ Health 1998; 24(5): 439--443.
Good hunting,
Bashyr
