Gap Analysis

In the next unit, you will be conducting a gap analysis between the organization you selected in Unit I and one of the standards presented in this unit or another similar standard. Review the materials presented for the ILO, ANSI Z-10, and CSA OSH standards (or from OSHA’s VPP related materials).

Based on the information provided, speculate which areas you believe your chosen company will do well and areas where you think they will be lacking. This assignment is to get you thinking about the gap analysis. Use the information on the various elements of management systems standards presented in Chapters 1 and 2 as a guide. Your Unit IV submission will require much more detail and elaboration as you will be asked to perform a gap analysis and report your findings in narrative format.

Your response should be a minimum of 500 words in length, not counting references listed at the end or repeating of the question, and cited per APA guidelines. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
