Marc - ya think it's too early to start a forum for ISO18001? I see AIAG is starting a committee on this standard which could mean that Big 3 may move to make this mandatory (from a 3rd party standpoint) for their suppliers too. (It's great to be involved in the wonderful world of ever-spiraling standards!)

The AIHA is formally involved in developing a Safety Standard right now that looks like it is based on BS8800 & OHSAS 18001.

Are you sure it's going to be an ISO standard?

ISO doesn't appear to have a technical committee looking at this subject.

From what I can recall the last time ISO looked at the subject, too many countries could foresee human rights problems associated with such a standard and discussion didn't get too far. Seems you couldn't certify sweat shops and rug makers with children chained to looms. But you can get them quality certified/registered!

Funny you should mention...

I was actually going to put in a post about that myself. I couldn't remember the number of the new H&S standard. The only thing I was wondering about is each country likely has different labour laws, etc. How will this work? For quality, I mean there aren't really any 'laws' per se governing this. But health & safety for sure there are laws. My company is just starting to develop a H&S System (yes we are a little behind the times). But I'm thinking that perhaps if there was a third party (other than the Ministry of Labour) to answer to they might take it more seriously.

More info on this new standard would be appreciated.

I brought this subject up because some time ago, one of the Big 3 reps (Dan Reid?) talked about the effect of the cost of health & safety on the price of cars. In addition, in that same article, he talked about compliance to sort of health/safety standard in the future. When I saw the announcement by AIAG about a committee on health & safety, I thought the Big 3 was about to come down with an edict to comply with ISO18001 or BS8800 or whatever. That was why I thought a forum on this might be a good idea.

I guess I'll help moderate Marc.
