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

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.
