 Foreword 
Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) is a parastatal under the Ministry  of Tourism, Trade and 
Industry established under Cap 327, of the Laws of Uganda.  UNBS is mandated to co-ordinate the 
elaboration of standards and is  
(a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and  
(b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex A limentarius Commission on Food Standards, and  
(c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT/SPS Agr eements of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). 
The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical 
Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a gi ven field or area and consists of representatives of 
consumers, traders, academician s, manufacturers, governme nt and other stakeholders. 
Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committ ee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the 
general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards 
for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council.  
Committee membership 
The following organisations were represented on the Technical Committee for Quality management systems UNBS/TC 10 in the preparation of this standard: 
• Consumer Education Trust (CONSENT)  
• Countryside Consultants 
• Ministry of Labour, Gender & Social Development  
• Quality Assurance & Management Consultants 
• Uganda Coalition for Crisis Prevention 
• Uganda Service Exporters’ Association

 Introduction 
Occupational safety and health is a cross-disciplinary  area concerned with protecting the safety , health  and 
welfare  of people engaged in work or employment . As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, 
family members, employers, customers, suppliers, ne arby communities, and other members of the public who 
are impacted by the workplace environment. 
Reasons for establishing good occupational  safety and health standards include: 
• moral  reasons whereby an employee should not have  to risk injury at work, nor should others 
associated with the work environment;  
• economic  reasons whereby many governments  realize that poor occupational safety and health 
performance results in cost to the State (for example, through social security  payments to the 
incapacitated, costs for medical treatment, and the loss of the " employability " of the worker). 
Employing organizations also sustain costs in the ev ent of an incident at work such as legal fees, 
fines, compensatory damages, investigation time, lo st production, lost goodw ill from the workforce, 
from customers and from the wider community); and 
• legal reasons whereby occupational safety and health requirements may be reinforced in civil law  
and/or criminal law ; it is accepted that wit hout the extra "encouragement" of potential regulatory action 
or litigation, many organisations would not  act upon their implied moral obligations.  
 UGANDA STANDARD US 534: 2008

 Occupational health and safety management systems — 
Specification 
1 Scope 
This Uganda Standard gives requirements for an oc cupational health and safety (OH&S) management 
system, to enable an organization to control its OH &S risks and improve its performance. It does not state 
specific OH&S performance criteria, nor does it give detailed specifications for the design of a management 
system. 
This Uganda Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to: 
a) establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimize risk to employees and other 
interested parties who may be exposed to OH &S risks associated with its activities; 
b) implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S management system; 
c) assure itself of its confor mance with its stated OH&S policy; 
d) demonstrate such c onformance to others; 
e) seek certification/registration of its OH&S management system by an external organization; or 
f) make a self-determination and declaration of conformance with this Uganda Standard. 
All the requirements in this Uganda Standard are in tended to be incorporated into any OH&S management 
system. The extent of the applicati on will depend on such factors as the OH&S policy of the organization, the 
nature of its activities and the risks  and complexity of its operations. 
This Uganda Standard is intended to address occupational health and safety rather than product and services 
safety.
