  • What Is the Safety Smart Program?
    WHAT IS THE SAFETY SMART PROGRAM? Disney Wild About Safety/UL Safety Smart is a lesson-based, multi-lingual global educational program developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in collaboration with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The program aims to improve children’s awareness and understanding of safety, health, and environmental issues, and ultimately to impact their behavior. Safety Smart utilizes a tested and proven educational methodology that enhances children’s behavioral intent to make "safety smart" decisions, thereby helping them manage themselves and their surroundings as safely as possible – by conscious action, not chance. Through its efforts, the Safety Smart program cultivates safety awareness, provides opportunities for children to learn and to practice safe behaviors, and helps children make more informed safety choices today and in the future. Team 180 S.P.A.M., along with your UL Safety Advisors, invites you to request access to the Safety Smart Training Portal to become an approved Safety Smart Ambassador. This portal will give you access to (8) Safety Smart animations featuring Timon and Pumbaa from Disney’s The Lion King movie in 35 languages, as well as safety science content with Bill Nye the Science Guy®. You will also have access through desktop or mobile devices to all the training materials and Ambassador guides. We encourage you to become an approved Safety Smart Ambassador so you can mentor your Jr FLL and FLL teams and visit local schools or community groups to help spread the word in 2016. Email [email protected] to get a login and password for the Safety Smart Training Portal for your team.

  • Introduction to ISO 19011, Guidelines for Uditing Management Systems
    May 2016 An ENLAR® Compliance Services White Paper Introduction to ISO 19011, Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems Executive Summary An important internal audit function is evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization’s control processes. These control processes include the policies, procedures and activities in place within an organization for managing risk and achieving organizational objectives. In the standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), “control processes” are defined as an organization’s management system. To conform to the ISO standards, organizations are required to establish and maintain management system processes. Organizations are also required to establish internal audit programs. The guidelines for understanding these internal audit requirements are set out in ISO 19011, Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems . The purpose of this white paper is to provide an introduction to the audit guidelines set out in the ISO 19011:2011 standard. This white paper also summarizes some of the challenges that are likely to be important topics of discussion during the upcoming revision of ISO 19011. © ENLAR Compliance Services (2016) Page 1 of 8 May 2016 Standards for Organizational Control Processes As business operations have become increasingly complex, establishing control processes has become critical for organizations. Equally important is establishing robust audit programs for assessing the effectiveness of these control processes in managing risk and achieving the organization’s objectives. Several organizations have developed standards and frameworks to assist organizations in establishing and auditing organizational control processes. These include the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA).
