International Frameworks for Regulating Health and Safety:

There are many bodies around the world which working toward the betterment of Health and Safety.
Their role is to make sure the Health and Safety standards are being followed and implemented at
utmost priority by emphasis the employer responsibilities as well as the employee responsibilities. Most
common bodies are:
 International Labour Orgnisation (ILO)
 Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
 British Standard Institute BSI
 International Standards Organiation ISO
 Europe Union EU

Health and safety law is implanted in one of two ways:
 Prescriptive Method
 Goal setting Method
Prescriptive Method
Prescriptive legislation detailed the technical requirements such as the employer must take action to prevent anyone falling more than two meters or all cranes must be inspected every 12month by a competent person. The advantages of this are that the employer has clear requirements to meet.
However it is considered that this type of legislation is too limited and does not have any flexibility. Goal Setting Method Goal setting with in health and safety law tends to set minimum standards rather than relying on compliance with specific technical requirements. The health and safety responsibilities of employers are clearly stated, however it is for the employers to develop effective ways of mitting those responsibilities. The type of wording in this type of legislation may say that the employers must take precautions where there is a likelihood that someone can fall. This means that the employers must considered areas not just above 2 meters.
There are three main approaches towards health and safety legislation:
 The European (Goal setting)
 The American (prescriptive)
 The international labour organization.
