ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING and WORKSHOP – June 7, 2019
The Role of Standards in the Management of
Occupational Health and Safety
This workshop will focus on national and international standards for managing occupational health and safety. We have moved beyond the time when the “rules” were defined by externally imposed government regulations, through the “human factors” approach of risk analysis, personnel selection and training and the design of work, and into the new era of participative management. This reflects a new standards-based emphasis on the organizational aspects of occupational health and safety. In applying a management system framework organizations can effectively identify the risks of its operation, implement the activities necessary to eliminate or control them, assess their effectiveness and take action to continually improve its OH&S performance.
Canada has recently adopted CSA Z45001 – Occupational health and safety management systems — Requirements with guidance for use, as a national standard of Canada. This is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the ISO Standard 45001 (first edition, 2018-03). The transition has begun to phase out CSA Z1000, Occupational health and safety management and to align the series of standards under it to CSA Z45001.
This workshop will provide an overview of CSA Z45001 and the CSA Z1000 series of standards on occupational health and safety management:
- CAN/CSA-Z1001, Occupational health and safety training;
- CAN/CSA-Z1002, Occupational health and safety — Hazard identification and elimination and risk assessment and control;
- CAN/CSA-Z1003, Psychological health and safety in the workplace;
- CSA Z1004, Workplace ergonomics — A management and implementation standard;
- CSA Z1005, Incident investigation;
- CSA Z1006, Management of work in confined spaces;
- CSA Z1007, Hearing loss prevention program (HLPP) management;
- CSA Z1010, Management of work in extreme conditions; and
- CSA Z1600, Emergency and continuity management program.
and the two others now under development:
- CSA Z1008, Management of impairment in the workplace; and
- CSA Z1011, Work disability management.
PRESENTER:
Norma McCormick is founder and principal of Corporate Health Works, Inc. She has served on several CSA Technical Committees: CSA Z1000 – Occupational Health and Safety Management System, Z1600 – Emergency and Continuity Management, and Z1005 Incident Prevention and Investigation. She chaired Z1004 responsible for developing a General Workplace Ergonomics standard. At the international level, Norma heads the Canadian delegations to two ISO Technical Committees: TC 292 – Security and Resilience and PC 283 that developed ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management System and is convenor of TC 283, Working Group 2, now developing ISO 45003, Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. For her volunteer contribution to standards development to CSA, Norma received CSA’s Award of Merit in June 2006. She was elected to the CSA Group Board of Directors in 2013.

September 7, 2018 – The Safety Pass – Responsibilities and Solutions
New worker orientations are a legislated responsibility of the Employer for the workplaces that their employees work on. It is also the Employers responsibility to ensure the Contractors (Maintenance staff, Trades, Cleaners, etc.) hired to work for them understand their responsibilities on site as well. These orientations are legislated and therefore contain a lot of the same information that takes time to review and to ensure the worker understands the information. The Safety Pass is a fully transferable (site to site) online orientation program that allows Employers to meet their responsibilities while reducing the amount of time workers review repeat information and allows the Employer to focus more time and effort on the site-specific information required to provide a healthy and safe work environment.
What you will learn:
- Understand what a Prime Contractor’s responsibilities are.
- Understand what a Contractor’s responsibilities are.
- Understand how The Safety Pass system can help you save time and money while meeting your legislated responsibilities.
Who Should Attend:
Employers; Supervisors; Workers; Self-Employed Persons; Prime Contractors; Contractors; Owners; Suppliers; Health and Safety Representatives and Committee members; and Health and Safety Professionals.
PRESENTER:
Daniel Olson, NCSO, SHEM

Daniel Olson is the Client Services Consultant at the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba; he is a graduate of the Occupational Health and Safety Certificate program at Red River College and a graduate of the Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Diploma program at the University of Fredericton.

May 4, 2018 – Keeping Up To Date on CSA Standards
Spring into Action and check out these new OHS Standards!
New OHS standards in the “suite of standards” under CSA Z1000:Incident Investigation (CSA Z1005) and Emergency and Continuity Management (CSA Z1600).
Presented by Corporate Health Works, Norma McCormick:President
What is being presented?
There are two new CSA OHS standards which will be of interest to IPAM members. The first edition of CSA Z1005 – 17 Incident Investigation, which sets out prevention principles and requirements to determine causes and to prevent work-related incidents.
The second standard is the third edition of CSA Z1600, Emergency and continuity management program.
Why should you attend?
- Broad acceptance and implementation of CSA’s OHS standards leads to the effective identification and elimination of workplace hazards, the assessment and control of risks, improved regulatory compliance and demonstration of due diligence.
- Continual improvement of OHS programs and procedures leading to reductions in the frequency and severity of incidents and the associated financial and human costs.
- CSA Z1000 and the suite of health and safety standards represent a unique and valuable approach to managing various aspects of a comprehensive program, necessary to meet the regulatory requirements.
A bit about our presenter:
Norma McCormick is a member of several CSA Technical Committees including Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard (CSA Z1000-14), and CSA Z1600 – 17 Emergency and Continuity Management Programs. Norma received CSA’s Award of Merit in June 2006. She was elected by CSA members to the CSA Group Board in June 2013. She is the head of two Canadian delegations: to ISO PC 283, now developing ISO 45001, an Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard, and to ISO TC 292 Security and Resilience on which she holds the position of Convener of Working Group 1 (Terminology).
