Difference Between HSE Procedure and HSE Manual

What is the difference between an HSE Procedure and an HSE Manual? We currently have an HSE Procedure in place. Now, I need to prepare an HSE Manual. I kindly request your guidance on how to prepare the HSE Manual and what contents should be included in it, as per OHSAS-18001 and ISO-14001 norms.

With regards,

Dear Ashok,

Warm welcome to our EHS family in the CiteHR forum.

1.0 Policy Statement

Policy statements also inform readers of specific design limitations and what actions to take should limitations be surpassed. For example, if a storm hits a city and the amount of incoming wastewater surpasses the amount that can be treated by the wastewater system, operators can refer to a policy that states how much water can be treated in a given time and what course of action they should take.

2.0 Purpose

The reason for which something is done in industry/construction or created or for which something exists.

3.0 Scope

"The work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a high-quality service or result with the specified features and functions."

4.0 Glossary of Terms and Definitions

Part of the process of successfully deploying project management in your organization is to standardize the terminology. That way, when one person talks about risks, scope, issues, requirements, and other project management concerns, everyone else knows what he or she is referring to. This glossary contains common terms used in project management and can help start the standardization process.

5.0 Roles and Responsibilities

The project manager must ensure that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined. The organizational structure should be kept as simple as possible.

Project Roles and Responsibilities - a full description of project roles and responsibilities... Defining and assigning roles is a major task for the project manager.

6.0 Procedure

An established or official way of doing something.

7.0 References

i.e., OSHA, Factory Act 1948, etc.

8.0 Appendices

If you have any attachments in your plan, you can show them like Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.

Hope this information helps.
