OSA Framework

The OSA program is modelled on a simplified safety management foundational framework to facilitate program growth and sustainability and to align with individual company safety management systems and practices. It consists of five areas, illustrated in a continuous flow pattern, which as a whole cover all aspects of the operational business lifecycle serving to reduce risk and drive continuous improvement. Under this framework, there are a wide range of actions a company could carry out within its organization to establish a continuous improvement system to reduce hazards and prevent incidents. The OSA program is designed to support companies as they take steps within their organization to improve safety.
