A 'Duty of Care' approach in modern occupational health and safety legislation is now a permanent part of the industrial and commercial landscape in advanced countries. It is imperative that forward looking & developing countries follow suit in this direction.
Global trends suggest that there is a general shift away from "Specification Standard regulation" to “Performance Standard Legislation”, which aims to provide a basis for ensuring the health and safety of employees, irrespective of their duties or the industry in which they work. Hazardous industries are faced with corporate vulnerability, as was evident from the Bhopal Tragedy in 1984. If they are to have any degree of confidence in their safety management system, they require an effective, proactive, pre-emptive and predictive tool to assist them.
The concept of self-regulation or co-regulation is very pertinent in light of the above. The management has to take charge of regulating the operation of ensuring all safety measures themselves.
There is a definite need of an Integrated System Approach to meet the onerous task of occupational health and safety requirements of the people.
