ÿÿÿÿÿÿBelow, you will find some suggested sources for the objective evidence to ÿÿÿÿÿsupport your evaluation:

Documents: Organizational safety manuals and ÿÿÿÿÿÿinstructions, safe operating procedures, and job hazard analysesÿ
Records: E-mails or letters from management to ÿÿÿÿÿÿemployees, safety meeting minutes, mishap logs, audit reports, ÿÿÿÿÿÿOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations, ÿÿÿÿÿÿinspection reports, risk assessments, and training recordsÿ
Interviews: Management personnel, supervisors, and ÿÿÿÿÿÿemployees
Observation: Walk through some workplaces to observe ÿÿÿÿÿÿconditions for yourself.

For each management system element, discuss the ÿÿÿÿÿobjective evidence you found or were unable to find. Evaluate the ÿÿÿÿÿeffectiveness of the organization’s implementation of each element against ÿÿÿÿÿavailable reference sources and best practice information. Use the ÿÿÿÿÿfollowing four-tier evaluation scheme to rate each element:

World Class: ÿÿÿÿÿÿOHS performance
Strong: ÿÿÿÿÿÿConforming/complete, may have minor gaps with action plans
Moderate: ÿÿÿÿÿÿScattered non-conformances need to be addressed, positive trends/major ÿÿÿÿÿÿelements in place
Limited: ÿÿÿÿÿÿMultiple or significant systemic non-conformances exist.

Appropriate references include the course textbook; textbooks from other college-level courses; ANSI/AIHA Z10-2012; other published consensus standards like ANSI, ASSE, AIHA, ISO, and NFPA; OSHA standards and voluntary guidelines; and articles published in professional journals. Blogs, Wikipedia, About.com, Ask.com, and other unmonitored Internet resources are not considered scholarly references and should not be used. Please contact your professor if you have any questions about the appropriateness of a source.

If an element is found to be less than World Class, ÿÿÿÿÿprovide recommendations for improvement. Be sure to use appropriate ÿÿÿÿÿscholarly sources to support your recommendations.
Provide a summary of the overall status of the ÿÿÿÿÿorganization’s safety management system, and comment on the degree of ÿÿÿÿÿalignment between the safety management system and other management system ÿÿÿÿÿefforts utilized at the facility.

The Unit VIII Course Project must be a minimum of seven pages and a maximum of 10 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. A minimum of five professional sources must be used.
