5 SELF REGULATION Responsible Care (International Voluntary Scheme) Based on the Responsible Care Management System Technical Specification (integrated approach IMDG Code plus various countries regulations, the ISO9001 / / and IMO security requirements) Applicable to Chemical Industry Logistics Supply Chain The signatory chemical companies agree to commit themselves to improve their performances in the fields of environmental protection, occupational safety and health protection, plant safety, product stewardship and logistics, as well as to continuously improve dialog with their neighbors and the public, independent from legal requirements No certification, but sharing of Audit Reports!!! Panel of Auditors by CDI (RPMASA) and CEFIC (CAIA); The mandatory IMO instruments included in the scope of the Scheme cover safety of life at sea (SOLAS 1974 and its 1988 Protocol); prevention of pollution from ships (MARPOL); standards of training, certification and watch keeping for seafarers (STCW 1978); load lines (LL 66 and its 1988 Protocol); tonnage measurement of ships (Tonnage 1969); and regulations for preventing collisions at sea (COLREG 1972). Road Transport Management System (South African Voluntary Scheme) RTMS is an industry led, government-supported, voluntary, self-regulation scheme that encourages consignees, consignors & road transport operators to implement a management system (a set of standards) that demonstrates compliance with the Road Traffic Regulations and contributes to preserving road infrastructure, improving road safety & increasing productivity; Applicable to Road Freight Industry; Certification requirements = SANS 1395; Quality Assurance = SANAS approved Scheme for 1395 Certification Body and the Auditors are selected by the 1395 Certification Body; Note NDoT subsidized a process to develop and implement an Auditor Scheme by SAATCA. This is more applicable when auditing Government Departments and SOCs. (enhanced quality assurance model and removes burden of the 1395 CB). SAATCA is a SANAS approved CB for Management Systems Auditors (i.e. Person Certification)

10 Accreditation Traceability Standards Regulations EVOLUTION Institutional Reform in South Africa CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BODIES (CABs) (Inspection, Testing, Calibration & Certification) Act 19 of 2006 Act 18 of 2006 Act 5 of 2008 Act 5 of 2008 ISO/IEC ISO/IEC Based in South Africa, recognised by thedti and only organization in South Africa that holds SANAS accreditation against ISO for Certification of Persons (Certification Body for Standards / Management System Auditors).

11 ISO39001 KEY INSTRUMENT to implement the International Road Safety Plan Page 12: Pillar 1- Road safety management Establish a lead agency (and associated coordination mechanisms) on road safety involving partners; Promoting road safety management initiatives such as the new ISO traffic safety management standard ISO (RTSMS) 12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and Promote public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities 11

12 OVERVIEW OF NEW ISO STANDARD FOR THE TRANSPORT SECTOR Roads ISO39001 Road Traffic Safety Management Systems Philosophy Based on Decade of Action Global Road Safety Plan ( ) a collective approach required to reduce injuries and loss of lives Desired Outcome Improve road traffic safety by reducing crashes, fatalities and serious injuries; Savings (Cost of Road Crashes) can be used for poverty eradication programmes Targeting Public & Private Sector Organisations Road Authorities and Road Agencies; RTMC & Traffic Authorities; Emergency Response Services & Organisations; Government Fleet; Vehicle and Driver Testing Centers; Public Transport Operators (Buses, Taxis, metered taxis & Uber); Manufacturers; Consignors, Consignees & Transport operators; 12

13 Infra (Plan, Design, Const, Main) Use of appropriate roads Personal safety equipment Safe speed Fitness of drivers: fatigue, alcohol, distraction Journey planning Vehicle safety Appropriate authorisation Removal of vehicles and drivers Post crash response Policy Safety Performance Factors Objectives and targets Operations Continual improvements Measurements and follow up Management review Non conformities /Incidents ISO GLOBAL FOOTPRINT (Participating & Observing Countries). AFRICA FOOTPRINT: Nigeria &South Africa) 13

14 What is ISO The SANS is adopted from the Road Traffic Safety Management System (ISO39001), which was developed by the International Standards Organisation as a tool to support the implementation of the Decade of Action Global Road Safety Plan and is applicable to a range of organizations, including both public and private enterprises with responsibility for: the design and production of cars, trucks and other road vehicles including parts and equipment; transporting goods and people; generating significant flows of goods and people; personnel working in the road transport system; the design, building, operation and maintenance of roads and streets; providers of emergency medical assistance to crash victims; Various Government Departments other 14

15 What is ISO ISO specifies requirements for a Road Traffic Safety (RTS) Management System to enable an organization that interacts with the road traffic system to reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes which it can influence. The requirements in ISO include development and implementation of an appropriate RTS policy, development of RTS objectives and action plans, which take into account legal and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about elements and criteria related to RTS that the organization identifies as those which it can control and those which it can influence. 15

16 Benefits of ISO The implementation of the standard is supposed to put the organizations, which provide the system "road traffic", into the position to improve the traffic safety and to reduce by that the number of persons killed or severely injured in road traffic. compliance to existing legislation e.g. OHSA, GIMA, NRTA, NEMA and can contribute to an improvement in Government service delivery obligations, the preservation of our environment, improve road safety, improve productivity. Within Industry / Private Sector Improved Governance, Road Safety, Productivity and an opportunity to qualify for Government Concessions, etc (dependant on what the revised national transport policy says!!!) 16

17 Implementation Framework - Certification & Auditing QUALITY ASSURANCE INTERNAL AUDITS TYPE OF AUDIT EXTERNAL AUDITS FIRST PARTY SECOND PARTY THIRD PARTY STANDARD Why Audit? Who can do Audits? Certification Technical Assessment ISO ISO ISO IEC Guidelines for auditing management systems Organizations audit themselves. Guidelines for auditing management systems Customers audit their suppliers. Regulators and other interested parties audit organizations. Conformity assessment Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems Certification bodies and regulators audit organizations. In South Africa Certification Bodies (CB) must be approved by SANAS Technical Assessors (TA) review and advice SANAS on CB applications. Alternatively there are internationally recognised organisations to SANAS. The Certification Body is duty bound to appoint competent auditors i.e. one who has appropriate Knowledge/Skills/Experience (Subject Matter Expert) to do audits; ISO9011 & ISO17021 specifies the full requirements; In South Africa Auditors can be registered with SAATCA or at an another locally SANAS approved body or an internationally recognised similar Organisation All parties listed above should be affiliated with the International Accreditation Form (IAF); 17

19 ISO39001 IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES Lack of awareness and understanding; Will it be supportive in achieving transformation objectives; Can it become a trade barrier; Can it be exploitation or misused; Need for a collective approach by industry & Government; Implementation Capacity Sector specific implementation manuals; Training, consulting and implementation support; Auditing and Certification; Succession planning!!!

20 CONSLUSION Standards can be used as a key instrument to improve compliance, efficiency, address safety and meet customer requirements. Scope / Applicability and Opportunities in the Transport Sector is dependent on the final confirmation of Government Policy Position on the implementation of ISO & SANS Standards within the transport sector, especially for ISO39001 and other standards. Other enabling factors: SANAS schemes for Certification Bodies; Uptake and use of SAATCA audit scheme; Training and Capacitation programmes; Elevation of initiatives and integration at SADC level; Commitment by industry to use ISO or SABS Standards over Industry Guidelines. Is this possible? What will it take? There is also a need for pro-activeness by Industry & Suppliers Industry & Suppliers commitment to support broader transformation objectives Industry & Suppliers commitment to promote & use ISO Standards (including education & awareness) Opportunities for Industry & Suppliers: Inputs for the proposed Policies and Legislation; Participation at SABS Technical Committees Development of Sector specific implementation manuals; Training, consulting and implementation support; Auditing and Certification
