CSA Z1000

A Canadian standard helping you manage to reduce accidents, comply with legislation and improve performance

Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce.

CSA Z1000-2006 is Canada’s first national standard on Occupational Health and Safety Management. This standard provides a framework for developing and implementing an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). It encourages a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety issues.

It is designed for use by organizations of all types and sizes, and is compatible with other existing management systems such as ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management.  In addition, CSA Z1000-2006 compliments well with internationally recognized OHSMS such as OHSAS 18001. 
 
Based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act management structure, CSA Z1000-2006 provides a model for identifying occupational health and safety hazards, evaluating associated risks, and managing preventative and protective measures. 

Starting with the general requirements for management commitment, leadership, and effective participation, the standard stipulates requirements for worker participation, emergency preparedness, training, procurement, documentation, change management, incident investigation and compliance evaluations.

Who it’s for

This Canadian standard is designed for organizations looking for a proven management system approach to advance their occupational health and safety performance. Organizations will find useful explanatory notes and informative references in the Annexes of the standard.  Conforming to the standard's requirements will allow the organization to better identify, eliminate and taking actions to manage occupational health and safety hazards and risks.
