What is an OHSMS?

What is an occupational health and safety management system(OHSMS)?One difficultly in evaluating the effectiveness of OHSMS lies in the different meanings given to the team .Finding agreement upon criteria for effectiveness,or methods of measure-ment and evaluation is especially hard where basic disagreement exists upon what an OHSMS .

职业健康安全管理体系（OHSMS）是什么？一种难以在职业健康安全管理体系的效能评估是给团队中的不同含义。发现协议对标准的有效性，或的方法测量和评价是特别困难的基本分歧存在于什么职业健康安全管理体系。

1、The General Characteristics Of an OHSMS一个标准的一般特征

All OHSMS owe something to the legacy of general system theory. Systems theory suggests that there should be four general requirements for an OHSMS, although how there requirements are met in practice allows for considerable diversity. The four general requirements are as follows.所有OHSMS归功于传统的一般系统理论。系统理论认为，应该有一个标准四一般要求，虽然有要求在实践中允许相当大的多样性。四一般要求如下。

System objectives.系统目标。

Specification of system elements and their inter-relationship; not all systems need have the same elements.

系统元件的规格和它们之间的关系；并不是所有的系统都需要有相同的元素

Determining the relationship of the OHSMS to other systems (including the general management system,and the regulatory system , but also technology and work organisation ).确定管理关系到其他系统（包括一般管理系统，和监管体系，而且技术和工作组织）。

Requirements for system maintenance (which may be internal,linked to a review phase , or external , linked for example to industry policies that support OHS best practice; system maintenance may vary between systems).

对于系统的维护要求（这可能是内部的，与一个审查阶段，或外部链接，例如工业政策，支持职业健康安全最佳实践；系统维护之间可能会有所不同系统）。

Several Australian authorities upon OHSMS have given definitions broadly consistent with these general system requirements. Thus Bottomley notes what makes an OHSMS a system “is the deliberate linking and sequencing of processes to achieve specific objectives and to create a repeatable and identifiable way of managing OHS.
