ISRS™: for the health of your business
Best practice in safety and sustainability management
Organisations are under increasing scrutiny from stakeholders who expect ever higher standards of safety and sustainability. Satisfying the expectations of regulators, customers, employees and the public can be a matter of business survival.
ISRS is a world-leading system used to assess, improve and demonstrate the health of an organisation’s business processes. Using ISRS gives organisations and their stakeholders’ peace of mind that their operations are safe and sustainable.
ISRS is available in 11 languages and has been implemented on thousands of sites worldwide. It includes tried and trusted tools that can be used in flexible ways to develop, train, implement, assess and benchmark safety and sustainability management.
International Safety Rating System
ISRS represents more than 35 years of accumulated best practice experience in safety and sustainability management. Its continued success is testimony to its vision and strong foundation in research.
The first edition was developed in 1978 by Frank Bird, a safety management pioneer, and based on his research into the causation of 1.75 million accidents.
International Sustainability Rating System
ISRS seventh edition was launched in 2006. Its scope went beyond occupational health and safety management to address best practice in environmental, quality and security management and sustainability reporting.
ISRS eighth edition was launched in 2009. Its scope was expanded still further to help organisations improve process safety management, following industry concerns over the frequency of major accidents. It includes specific controls for managing major process hazards including fire, explosion and the release of flammable or toxic materials.
