Compare and contrast the ILO

200 words each question.

1. Compare and contrast the ILO, ANSI Z-10, and CSA OSH standards.. How are they the same? How are they different?

2. Discuss how the ILO guidelines address hazard prevention and how the approach required by the standard aligns with the concept of hierarchy of controls.

3. Explain how responsibility and accountability are addressed in the various management system standards. Use one management system standard as an example.

4. Emergency, contingency, and continuity planning are important aspects of a given organization’s management systems. Review the additional reading materials and do some further research on NFPA 1600 (and similar voluntary standards if you would like). How do you think an organization would incorporate emergency and continuity planning into their OSH management systems?

Hint: Consulting OSHA's VPP page and/or one of the check lists at the back of the textbook may be helpful for you in answering this question as emergency operations are typically addressed, at least to some degree, in ESH systems standards.
