Industrial Safety Rating System Requirements

Industrial safety ratings are created using safety and risk management audits completed using the International Safety Rating System (ISRS). The ISRS rates the safety and risk management systems implemented by industrial companies.


History


The ISRS was developed in 1978 by Frank Bird, a safety expert who researched about 1.75 million workplace accidents to create the standard. Safety standards are required for workers in an industrial facility, the surrounding environment and local community.


Ratings


Safety ratings are awarded by analyzing the risks associated with the industrial process taking place within an industrial environment. Procedures should be in place for pre-startup safety reviews, hazard analysis, process safety information and safe operating procedures.


Assessment


Safety management systems should include risk analysis for internal and external events affecting safety, and supply chain problems. Other information that should be collected include occupational hazards and process safety.
