職業(yè)健康與安全管理體系證書
Become certified (or use the principles) of a standardized certification such as OHSAS 18001 to develop your Occupational Health and Safety Management System. OHSAS 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system specification modeled after ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System). It includes criteria for a Health and Safety Management System that enables an organization to control its risks and improve its performance. It does not specify performance criteria, but describes system elements.

Threshold Limit Values (TLVs): the level of a chemical substance determined by ACGIH for which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects.
Biological Exposure Indices (BEI): Values, determined by ACGIH used for guidance to assess biological monitoring results Biological monitoring is the measurement of the concentration of a chemical marker in a human biological media (e g blood, urine, saliva) the detection and concentration of a marker is indicative of exposure
Ergonomics: the applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.
Occupational Exposure Limit: upper limit on the acceptable concentration of a hazardous substance in workplace air for a particular material or limit of exposure to physical hazard (e g noise, vibration, radiation)
Powered motor Vehicle (PMV): any mobile power propelled vehicle used to carry, push, pull, lift, stack or tier materials they are commonly known as forklifts, pallet trucks, tractors, platform lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, rider trucks fork trucks and lift trucks.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): devices used to protect employees from injury or illness resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards
Decibel (db): a decibel is a measure of sound pressure level (noise) Measurements are most often made in the
a-weighting scale and therefore are abbreviated as dBa
International standards Organization (ISO): an independent, non governmental membership organization and the world’s largest developer of voluntary international Standards.
