Propose a New Occupational Safety Standard with ISEA
Have you identified a pressing need for a new occupational safety standard? We invite you to channel your expertise and insights to shape the safety landscape. Submit your proposal below through ISEA.
Understanding our Double-Blind Application Process:
In our commitment to promoting unbiased evaluations and fostering an environment of fairness and transparency, ISEA has adopted a double-blind application process for our standards development. This ensures that the merit of the standard's content is prioritized over the identity of its contributors. As you prepare your application:
- Ensure you do not include any identifiable information within the content of your proposal.
- Emphasize the merit and specifics of your proposed standard, keeping it devoid of organizational identifiers or personal references.
- Our review committee will assess your proposal based solely on its content, promoting fairness and transparency in our decision-making.
Post-Submission Process:
- Your proposal will undergo a rigorous evaluation by ISEA's standardization expert reviewers.
- Proposals are evaluated on a rolling basis.
- You may be contacted for further clarification or additional information.
- If deemed suitable, your proposal could serve as the foundation for a formal standardization initiative, culminating in an ANSI-accredited safety equipment standard.
- Please be informed that while every proposal is valued, not all will transition into formal standardization efforts.
Guidance for Proposal Submission:
Before proposing a new standard, ponder upon:
- The specific product, service, or process you're aiming to standardize.
- The compelling reasons related to worker safety necessitating this standard.
- The relevant industry sectors and specific entities that would leverage this standard.
- The pertinent trade associations or industry bodies to be involved in its development.
- Any existing standards or industry best practices in a similar vein.
