OHSAS 18001 Overview - What is it all about?Manage the safety, health and welfare

Continuous improvement on health and safety matters

● As OHSAS 18001 is a standard, it requires you to look at safety, health and

welfare in your company in a systematic way, or in simpler terms, identify what

are the hazards and risks associated with your activities, what controls have you

in place, what are the potential emergency situations that could arise hand and

how would you handle them.

● OHSAS 18001, currently at the 2007 revision, is the ‘requirements’ standard. This

means that it is the only standard in the OHSAS 18000 family that a company can

be certified to.

● The benefits of implementing an OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety

management system are several, and include a demonstrable commitment to the

protection of your most valuable resource, your employees.
