To develop and validate a global occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) model for Japanese companies.
In cooperation with a Japanese company, we established a research team and gathered information on occupational health and safety (OHS) practices in nine countries where the target company operated manufacturing sites. We then developed a model hypothesis via research team meeting. The model hypothesis was introduced to local factories in Indonesia and Thailand as trial sites. We evaluated the roles of the company headquarters, the implementation process, and any improvements in OHS practices at the sites. Based on the results, a global OHSMS model was formalized for global introduction.
The model consisted of both headquarters and site roles. These roles were well-functioning, and OHS at the sites improved. Two issues concerning the functioning of the headquarters were identified: the need to establish a reporting system to the headquarters and the need to support the improvement of specialized human resources. By improving the model hypothesis to address these issues, the model was formalized for global introduction.
The global OHSMS model was based on the use of methods and specialized human resources relevant to each region and their common objectives, as well as evaluation indicators based on the minimum requirements of the company headquarters. To verify the effectiveness of this model, the experiment should be extended to other countries.
为日本公司开发和验证全球职业健康安全管理体系（OHSMS）模型。
我们与一家日本公司合作，成立了一个研究团队，并收集了目标公司在九个运营制造工厂的国家的职业健康和安全（OHS）实践信息。然后，我们通过研究团队会议建立了一个模型假设。该模型假设被引入印度尼西亚和泰国的当地工厂作为试点。我们评估了公司总部、实施过程以及现场 OHS 实践改进的作用。根据结果，为全球推出制定了一个全球 OHSMS 模型。
该模型包括总部和现场角色。这些角色运作良好，现场的 OHS 得到了改善。发现总部运作存在两个问题：需要向总部建立报告制度，需要支持专门人力资源的改进。通过改进模型假设来解决这些问题，该模型被正式确定为全球推广。
全球 OHSMS 模型基于使用与每个地区相关的方法和专门人力资源及其共同目标，以及基于公司总部最低要求的评估指标。为了验证该模型的有效性，应将实验扩展到其他国家。
