The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) is developing an accreditation program to support ANSI/AIHA Standard Z10, its new American standard for occupational health and safety systems. Because the new standard is compatible with environmental and quality management standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, it will allow organizations to integrate occupational health and safety management into their overall business management systems. The new program will be available to registrars this month.

“The Z10 standard of management systems and principles is designed to help organizations of all types and sizes improve their occupational health and safety performance,” says Robert H. King Jr., ANAB president. “Our accreditation program is intended to meet the needs of the U.S. market for an accredited certification program for occupational health and safety management systems.”
