Evaluation of regulatory requirements within the organization

/in /by

In this unit, you are asked to conduct a gap analysis in relation to the organization you chose for your course project. When selecting your organization, you were asked to either select a company that was already utilizing a systems approach to management or an organization that was not. Since that point in time, you have been asked to make various observations about the company you selected.

 

In this assignment, you are asked to first review the CSA Z1000 checklist provided on pages 64-72, as it provides a detailed list of requirements. In order for you to focus on specific management system elements, use the list provided below when writing your gap analysis:

 

1. Policy and management commitment: What is the policy? Is it communicated and understood within the organization? Are responsibilities assigned?

2. QEHS manual (or other document which describes the MS): How is the MS documented within the organization?

3. Documentation and records: Is there control over documentation, including records?

4. Evaluation of risk: Has the organization identified key QEHS risks? Is there a method to evaluate new risks that may arise based on changes in the management system?

5. Objectives: Has the organization established measurable objectives related to risks identified? Are they periodically reviewed to determine if the organization is meeting them?

6. Identification of regulatory requirements: Has the organization evaluated regulatory requirements impacting the organization, is this review updated periodically?

7. Evaluation of regulatory requirements within the organization: Does the organization have an internal process to determine if it meets regulatory requirements (compliance audits)?

8. MS conformance evaluation (Internal Audit): Does the organization review its conformance with any MS standard?

9. Management review: Does top management periodically review the progress of the organization in terms of implementation of the MS and in continuing to improve?

10. Operational controls/equipment: Are there procedures to address the implementation of controls necessary to address QEHS risks? Is equipment maintained and is there a preventive maintenance program? MOS 5525, Integrated Safety Management Systems 5

11. Employee involvement: How are employees involved in the management system and what are their responsibilities?

12. Suppliers and contractors: Is there a supplier quality, and EHS program? How are they managed with respect to meeting the organization’s QEHS requirements?

13. Measurement and monitoring: Does the organization measure its ability to meet requirements and parameters related to operational controls? Are the instruments used calibrated? Does the organization have a process to collect, store, and evaluate data related to its operational controls?

14. Deficiencies and process failures (corrective and preventive action): Does the organization have a documented process for addressing defects, process failures, accidents, and other unexpected events? Does the process include a method to determine root cause, prevent reoccurrence and to evaluate effectiveness of those actions? Does the organization have a process to evaluate potential problems before they occur?

15. QEHS improvement: Does the organization have a defined process for continuous improvement? How is it implemented within the organization?

16. Emergency planning: Does the organization understand the potential sources of emergencies (based on the location of the organization and its operations) which could impact the organization and have plans been developed on how to address those emergencies? Are the plans checked? Are there drills/checks to ensure that the plans work?

17. Training: Are training requirements identified and competency requirements determined? Is training conducted to meet the requirements and are records maintained to reflect the training completed?

 

Your response should be a minimum of 700 words in length, not counting references listed at the end or repeating of the question, the text of the 17 elements presented above, and essay heading/abstract. Your essay must include a discussion of the types of information sources (documents, records, web page, etc). It is acceptable to include the 17 elements provided here as a list or table in your essay, but also include an introduction, methods, and conclusion section of the essay. Do not provide recommendations for improvement in this essay assignment. That should be included in your Unit VII course project.

Explain what, if any, steps the company provides for an employee to present a request for accommodation.

/in /by

In an organization, there are many employment policies in the company handbook. This handbook is given to employees at the start of the employer-employee relationship, and although generally not construed as a binding contract against the company in a later lawsuit over the policies, it governs the expectations of employees at the workplace. This Mini Project will have you analyze a company handbook as it relates to the company’s disability policy(ies) and provide a written report of your findings. The report should be at least two pages in length. Please cite your reference using APA format.

Review the employee handbook at your place of employment. If you are unemployed, you can review the handbook you might have handy from a previous employer, or ask to look at one from your spouse, other family member, or friend.

 

In your response, discuss what the handbook says about how the company deals with disability issues and accommodating employees with disabilities.

Explain what, if any, steps the company provides for an employee to present a request for accommodation. Use specific examples within the contract to support your answer.

Do the company policies articulate a difference in how the company treats workplace injuries as opposed to other disabling injuries (such as non-work related injuries or congenital or innate disabling issues)? If so, how? If no, do you think it is effective and/or wise not to include a written distinction?

Is the policy fair? If yes, why? If no, what could the company do to improve the policy? Think about the term “fair” from both an employer and an employee perspective.
