Element 5.1 Criteria IPD IOSH

The document discusses developing and implementing a safe system of work (SSoW) for operating a sanding machine. It outlines analyzing accident reports that identified risks, conducting a task analysis, consulting operatives, developing a draft SSoW, getting manager approval, implementing the SSoW through training and briefings, and monitoring its effectiveness through equipment checks and reports. The example provided develops an SSoW for a sanding machine by identifying a need through accidents, analyzing the task, involving staff, creating a draft, approving the process, and implementing it with ongoing monitoring.

Element 5 – Managing the health and safety risks of an organisation

5.1 Developing and applying safe systems of work


This criterion asks you to demonstrate that you’ve identified the need for a safe system of
work (SSoW) and have gone on to develop and implement one. This must be a task-specific
SSoW – not a risk assessment, policy, plan or general guidance.

Minimum activities: 5
Minimum evidence: 7

Areas to cover:
• explain how you established that a SSoW was needed
• demonstrate how you used task analysis to develop the SSoW
• identify resource and other practical implications
• explain how you involved others in the process
• demonstrate the development of the SSoW
• outline how you ensured effective implementation, including:
o training
o staff briefing
o competence
• demonstrate how you’ll monitor the effectiveness of the SSOW

Example activity sheet:

Outline and Background


Ongoing analysis of accident reports identified a common type of accident occurring in the
operation of the sanding machine. On investigation, the method for instructing employees on
the operation of this machine was found to be somewhat ad hoc and didn’t address all
possible risks I could foresee. I therefore decided that an analysis of the operation of this
machine and what it was used for was called for, from which I could then develop a better
system of work.
