Performance standards
The Guidelines describe the elements of the HSEMS model and their interrelationships. These—or similar—elements are described by some regulators and companies as ‘performance standards’. This term should not, however, be confused with ‘performance criteria’, which are lower-level specifications for the performance of operations.
