The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

En el pasado las empresas han utilizado modelos de gestión como el Control Total de Perdidas o el modelo DuPont para gestionar la seguridad en el trabajo. Sin embargo a partir del éxito de las normas ISO 9000, las empresas empezaron a demandar modelos de carácter internacional, fácilmente integrables con ésta. Al no desarrollarse una norma ISO 18000, han proliferado normas y modelos para todo el mundo (UNE 81900-EX, Guía BS 8800, AS/NZS 4804, VPP, Directrices de la UE, JISHA, etc.). Para terminar con esta situación se han publicado las Directrices de la OIT para la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo y la especificación técnica OHSAS 18001 con el propósito de facilitar la integración con los sistemas de gestión de la calidad (ISO 9001) y del medio ambiente (ISO 14001). En este libro se presentan los principales modelos, normas, guías y directrices comentados anteriormente, analizando sus características, ventajas e inconvenientes. Por tanto este documento puede suponer una excelente herramienta de orientación para aquellos profesionales y consultores que se encuentran implicados en el proceso de integración del sistema de gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales a partir de al certificación de sus sistemas de calidad o el medio ambiente, así como para aquellos estudiantes de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales y de Auditorías de los sistemas de Prevención. INDICE: La gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales. Los modelos tradicionales: el control total de pérdidas y el modelo Dupont. Normas, guías y modelos antecedentes de la OSHAS 18001 y las directrices de la OIT. La especificación técnica OSHAS 18001 y las directrices de la OIT. Los sistemas integrados de gestión: Gestión de la calidad total y gestión de la seguridad total. Vocabulario Inglés-Español de gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales.
