Abstract:
The paper presents a state of art review of OHSMS in process industries. Major industrial accidents/incidents
are described along with its root cause in the recent past. OHSMS application with a systematic approach
can eliminate such incidents and accidents, such approach is also being considered for a fiber industry
whose case based review has been discussed in this article. The initial approach is to identify gaps between
the standard requirements of OHSMS and existing practices of the industry and implementation steps are
suggested based on observations and data collected.
Also, root cause analysis model for the particular
industry is also suggested.
