National Standards - Continuous Improvement Program
The objective of the National Standards: A Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) is to support jurisdictions in efficiently and effectively reducing the level of work-related injury, disease and death. The CIP:
- provides a systematic process for the consideration of new national regulatory material;
- provides a systematic process for the timely and reliable update of existing NOHSC regulatory material to keep them relevant, effective and practicable and to ensure that they are not unnecessarily prescriptive;
- harnesses the experiences, and considers the requirements, of the jurisdictions to continually innovate and improve the national material as set out in the National OHS Strategy 2002 - 2012;
- enables jurisdictions to minimise duplication of effort by providing them with useful materials, and
- incorporates self assessment to allow for its refinement to fit within the mission, goals and objectives of the National OHS Strategy 2002 – 2012.
