ASEAN Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health for DPOs

What does ASEAN Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health require of a DPO?

ASEAN's guideline for small and medium enterprises on running an occupational safety and health management system: policy, hazard identification, risk assessment, objectives, a resourced plan, implementation, routine monitoring and inspections, incident investigation, emergency preparedness, performance indicators, audit, corrective and preventive action, management review and continual improvement, with communication, responsibilities, training, worker participation, documentation and records as basic requirements, plus GHS classification, labelling and safety data sheet duties for chemical suppliers from the appended 2009 chemical guideline. Under ASEAN Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health, which defines 25 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
