The IHSA Safety Podcast is a free podcast from the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association that seeks to improve the lives of workers in Ontario; one thought-provoking discussion at a time.
<p>We engage with professionals and industry influencers to help them implement and improve health and safety solutions for workers and the workplace. Each episode explores best practices, resources, and training to control and eliminate safety hazards in work environments involving high-risk activities in the industries that IHSA serves: construction, transportation, and electric utilities
Implementing an occupational health and safety management system in an organization is crucial for both employees and employers, as it helps to address and control hazards in a safe and consistent manner. Ontario's Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development recognizes two systems: COR® 2020 and ISO 45001:2018. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Carson Powell and Cameron Mitchell from AudEng International discuss the value of, and differences between, both systems. Both Carson and Cameron are certified occupational health and safety management system auditors for both COR® 2020 and ISO 45001:2018.
Carson and Cameron emphasize the importance of having a functional health and safety management system, as well as understanding which system may be better suited for an organization. They also provide valuable information on topics such as:
· The differences between an accredited ISO audit and an unaccredited audit
· Reasons why an Ontario employer might pick COR® 2020 over ISO 45001:2018
· The need for an organization to have staff or consultants with high-level understanding of occupational health and safety
