Safety Management System

WHAT IS OHSAS 18001:2007?

It is an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) that promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows your organization to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.

OHSAS18001:2007 is the internationally recognised ISO Standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It was developed by a selection of leading trade bodies, international standards and certification bodies to address a gap where no third-party certifiable international standard exists.

OHSAS 18001 has been designed to be compatible with ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001:2004, to help your organisation meet their health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.

The following key areas are addressed by OHSAS 18001:2007
•    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
 
ISO18001:2007 can be adopted by any organisation wishing to implement a formal procedure to reduce the risks associated with health and safety in the working environment for employees, customers and the general public.
