For this assignment, you will be performing a comparative analysis on safety management standards and guidelines. You will begin by reviewing both the Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (International Labour Organization-Occupational Safety and Health [ILO-OSH]) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) Guidelines for Occupational Health and Safety Program Management. Both guidelines can be found in the Unit I Required Reading section. Following the review, you will develop a comparative analysis of the guidelines. Your analysis must include the information listed below: an overview of the guidelines, including information about the developing organization; the similarities and differences between guidelines; identification of how the guidelines include the model for continuous improvement (PDCA) discussed in the unit lesson; identification of whether the core elements of a safety management system are included in the guidelines; identification of the benefits to be obtained from implementing a safety management system; and identification of an industry sector that currently uses the guidelines. The writing analysis must be two to three pages; separate title page and reference page are required and does not count toward the total page length. Make sure that you include an introduction and conclusion.
