What is OHSAS 18001?

Occupational Health & Safety Management System is a framework that allows an org
anization to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, redu
ce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall p
erformance.
OHSAS 18001 is the assessment specification for Occupational Health & Safety Man
agement Systems. It was developed in response to the need for companies to meet
their health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.
The following key areas are addressed by OHSAS 18001:
Planning for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
OHSAS management programme
Structure and responsibility
Training, awareness and competence
Consultation and communication
Operational control
Emergency preparedness and response
Performance measuring, monitoring and improvement

Who is it relevant to?

OHSAS 18001 can be adopted by any organization wishing to implement a formal pro
cedure, which will reduce the risks associated with health and safety in the wor
king environment for employees, customers and the general public.
In a competitive market place, customers are looking for more than just keen pri
cing from their suppliers. Companies need to demonstrate that their businesses a
re managed efficiently and responsibly and that they can provide a reliable serv
ice without excessive downtime caused by work related accidents and incidents.
Whatever the nature or size of your business, implementing an occupational healt
h and safety management system is common sense as well as a legal requirement in
 many countries worldwide.
Whilst the British and International Management System Standards are autonomous,
they are more compatible than ever before. Integrating your systems give limitl
ess potential while adding value and efficiency to any organization. BSI has dev
eloped the practical solution for those organizations seeking an integrated mana
gement system.
