The papers in this book were presented at the First National Conference on
Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) held in Australia,
at the University of Western Sydney in July 2000. The Conference shared information
about a range of issues associated with the widespread use of OHSMS in many
sectors of Australian industry. The Conference was part of the Club Zero project
funded by the WorkCover NSW Injury Prevention Education and Research Grant
Scheme.
The papers represent a cross section of views and experience from an academic
and occupational health and safety (OHS) practitioner perspective. The papers are
divided into two parts in the publication. The first part consists of papers which
were peer reviewed by an international panel and represent those papers which
have a more academic or theoretical focus. The second part consists of papers
which describe different approaches to OHSMS in Australian industry.
