Safety Practices and Procedures Standards

ANSI/ASSE (ASSP) safety practices and procedures standards outline safe use of motor vehicles, entering confined spaces, hazardous energy lockout, hydrogen sulfide, and environmental training. A popular standard listed here is ANSI/ASSE Z15.1-2017, the standard for Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations.

ANSI/ASSP Z15.1-2024

Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations (digital only)

This standard sets forth practices for the safe management and operation of motor vehicles owned, operated, or used by organizations, including: definitions; management, leadership, and administration; operational environment; driver considerations; vehicle considerations; incident reporting and analysis. These practices are designed for use by those having the responsibility for the administration and operation of motor vehicles for organizational business.

ANSI/ASSP Z117.1-2022

Safety Requirements for Entering Confined Spaces

This standard provides minimum safety requirements to be followed while entering, exiting and working in confined spaces at ambient atmospheric pressure.

ANSI/ASSE Z117.1-2009 Package

Safety Requirements for Confined Spaces with Comparison Document for versions 1995, 2003 and 2009

This standard provides minimum safety requirements to be followed while entering, exiting and working in confined spaces at normal atmospheric pressure. Comparison document attempts to note the changes in the Z117.1 standard.

ANSI/ASSP Z244.1-2024

The Control of Hazardous Energy – Lockout, Tagout, and Alternative Methods

This standard establishes requirements for machines, equipment, and processes in which the unexpected energization or start-up of the machines or equipment, release of stored energy, or the actions of persons could result in harm to personnel. The standard specifies the use of lockout, tagout or alternative methods to control hazardous energy associated with machines, equipment, or processes.The purpose of this standard is to establish requirements that protect personnel where harm can occur as a result of the unexpected release of hazardous energy.

ANSI/ASSP Z390.1-2024

Accepted Practices for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Training Programs

The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum requirements for H2S safety training programs that will enhance safety in occupational settings where H2S is present, or is recognized as being potentially present, above the applicable OEL.

ANSI/ASSE Z390.1-2006 (R2010) Chinese

Accepted Practices for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Training Programs (Chinese version)

This standard sets forth accepted practices for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) safety training and instruction of affected personnel to include, but not be limited to, the following: minimum informational content of the course recommended exercises and drills;? refresher training requirements; ?H2S Safety Instructor qualification; ?properties and characteristics of H2S; ?sources of H2S and areas of potential exposure; ?typical site-specific safe work practices associated with H2S operations; detection methods for H2S; selection, use and care of personal protective equipment appropriate for atmospheres containing H2S concentrations above the Threshold Limit Value-Time Weighted Average (TLV-TWA);? rescue techniques and first aid procedures for victims of H2S exposure.

ANSI/ASSE Z390.1-2006 (R2010) Spanish

Accepted Practices for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Training Programs (Spanish version)

This standard sets forth accepted practices for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) safety training and instruction of affected personnel to include, but not be limited to, the following: minimum informational content of the course recommended exercises and drills;? refresher training requirements; ?H2S Safety Instructor qualification; ?properties and characteristics of H2S; ?sources of H2S and areas of potential exposure; ?typical site-specific safe work practices associated with H2S operations; detection methods for H2S; selection, use and care of personal protective equipment appropriate for atmospheres containing H2S concentrations above the Threshold Limit Value-Time Weighted Average (TLV-TWA);? rescue techniques and first aid procedures for victims of H2S exposure.

ANSI/ASSP Z490.1-2024

Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training

This standard defines accepted criteria for effective occupational safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) training and learning systems. This standard provides flexibility in how to conform to the criteria in a manner appropriate to each organization and commensurate with its SH&E competency requirements.

ANSI/ASSE Z590.2-2003 (R2012)

Criteria for Establishing the Scope and Functions of the Professional Safety Position

This standard establishes the scope and functions of the professional safety position. 

ANSI/ASSP Z590.3-2021

Prevention through Design Guidelines for Addressing Occupational Hazards and Risks in Design and Redesign Processes

This standard provides guidance on including prevention through design concepts within an occupational safety and health management system. Through the application of these concepts, decisions pertaining to occupational hazards and risks can be incorporated into the process of design and redesign of work premises, tools, equipment, machinery, substances, and work processes including their construction, manufacture, use, maintenance, and ultimate disposal or reuse. This standard provides guidance for a life-cycle assessment and design model that balances environmental and occupational safety and health goals over the life span of a facility, process, or product.
