OHSAS 18000 is an international occupational health and safety

management system specification.

Originally developed in early 1990’s as BS8800.

Revised in 1999 by BSI to be more compatible with ISO 14001.

It comprises two parts, 18001 and 18002 and embraces BS8800 and a

number of other publications.

17 elements designed in parallel to ISO 14001 and allows third-party

certification/registration.


An international standard like ISO 9001or ISO 14001.

An international guideline as ICH.

Not prescriptive –no absolute requirements; very similar to ISO 14001.

OHSAS 18001 was created via a concerted effort from a number of the worlds

leading national standards bodies, certification bodies, and specialist consultancies.

OH & S policy

Planning.

Implementation and operation.

Checking and corrective action.

Management review.

Continual improvement.


Clearly states overall OH&S objectives.

Authorised by top management.

Appropriate to nature & scale of OH&S risks.

Documented, implemented, and maintained.

Communicated to all employees.

Available to interested parties.

Reviewed periodically.


OH&S Policy CommitmentsOH&S Policy Commitments

• Improve health & safety performance*

• Continual improvement.

• “at least” comply with current applicable .

• OH&S legislation and other requirements.

* Performance: measurable results of the OH&S management system,

related to the organization’s control of health and safety risks, based on

its OH&S policy and objectives.


OH&S PlanningOH&S Planning

• Hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control.

• Legal and other requirements.

• Objectives

• OH&S management program(s)


Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk ControlControl

• Conceptually similar to environmental aspects and impacts –target of

management program(s)

• Much more detailed than 14001 approach

• Assessment must address:

– routine and non-routine activities

– all personnel, including contractors and visitors

– facilities at the workplace, whether provided by the organization or

by others



• Methodology must be proactive

– in advance of process/equipment changes

– allow engineering of hazard controls during design

– implementation of controls as change occurs

• Success requires strong Management of Change (MOC) procedure



• Process overview

– identification of hazards

– evaluation of risks under current controls

– evaluation of the tolerability of residual risk

– identification of needed additional controls

• People are involved

– significant risks must be controlled

– individual behaviour is a significant factor


OH&S PlanningOH&S Planning


Implementation & OperationImplementation & Operation

• Structure and responsibilities

• Training awareness and competence

• Consultation and communication

• Documentation

• Document and data control

• Operational control

• Emergency preparedness and response


Structure & ResponsibilitiesStructure & Responsibilities

• Documented roles, responsibilities, authorities, and accountability

• Management appointee responsible for implementation

• Resources

• Managers must demonstrate commitment to continual improvement


Training, Awareness & CompetenceTraining, Awareness & Competence

• Ensure employee awareness and competence

• Take into account differing levels of:

– Responsibility

– Ability

– Literacy

– Risk

• Much of required training driven by regulation


Consultation & CommunicationConsultation & Communication

• More internally focused than ISO 14001

• Employee involvement and consultation

– in development/review of policies and procedures

– about changes that affect workplace safety or health

– ensuring representation in OH&S matters

• Buy-in, ownership, motivation

• Insights of shop floor perspective


Documentation & DataDocumentation & Data

• Documentation of core elements

– aids employee awareness.

– shows how the various system relate.

– extremely valuable during certification process.

• Document and data control procedures

– critical documents are available

– obsolete documents and data are removed


Operational ControlOperational Control

• Identify operations and activities where risk requires further control

• Plan these to ensure that

– documented procedures are developed

– operating criteria specify key steps and requirements

– procedures addressing risks related to contractor goods and services

– establish design procedures to reduce/eliminate source of risks


Operational ControlOperational Control


Emergency Preparedness & ResponseEmergency Preparedness & Response

• Emergency response procedures to address

– identifying potential for incidents and emergencies.

– preventing and mitigating resultant illnesses and injuries.

– responding to incidents and emergencies when they occur.


Emergency Preparedness & ResponseEmergency Preparedness & Response


Checking & Corrective ActionChecking & Corrective Action

• Performance measurement and monitoring.

• Accidents, incidents, non-conformances and corrective and preventive

action.

• Records and records management.

• OH&S management system audit.


Performance Measurement & MonitoringPerformance Measurement & Monitoring

• Monitoring the achievement of objectives.

• Quantitative and qualitative measures.

• Proactive and reactive methods.

• Records to facilitate corrective and preventive actions.

• Calibration of monitoring equipment.


Quantitative & QualitativeQuantitative & Qualitative

• Direct Quantitative Measures

– number of lost work days following an injury.

– decibel levels of noise in a work area.

• Indirect Qualitative Measures

– review of inspection logs.

– observation of a task.

– Interviews.


Proactive & Reactive MeasuresProactive & Reactive Measures

• Proactive monitoring of compliance

– routine basis, independent of any event.

– monitoring may be required by regulations

• daily equipment checks.

• periodic review of hot-work permits.

• Reactive monitoring of accidents or incidents

– in response to an event or trigger

• accident investigation.

• monitoring in response to a complaint.


Accident, Incidents, Non-conformances & Corrective and Preventive Action

• Handle, investigate, mitigate

– Accidents.

– Incidents.

– non-conformances.

• Corrective and preventive actions.

• Review action plans through risk assessment process.


Accident, Incidents & Non-conformances

• Handle = immediate action

– Notification.

– emergency response.

– recordkeeping to facilitate investigation.

• Investigation process.

– team and procedures.

– root cause analysis.

• People are involved

– human elements.


Corrective and Preventive Action

• Correct immediate problem.

• Mitigate consequences.

• Eliminate or control root cause.

• Prevent recurrence.

• Review action plans through risk assessment process.

• Communicate results and monitor.


Records & Record Management

• Identification, maintenance, and disposition

• Records must be:

– Legible.

– Identifiable.

– traceable to the activities involved.

– easily retrievable.

– protected from damage, deterioration, or loss.

– held for specified and documented retention times.


OH&S Management System Audit

• Determine if OH&S-MS:

– conforms with planned arrangements.

– is properly implemented and maintained.

– is effective in meeting policy and objectives.

• Results provided to top management.

• Audit program and schedule reflect risks and previous audit results.


Management Review



CONCLUSION

Essentially, OHSAS helps in a variety of respects... it helps: minimize risk to

employees/etc; improve an existing OH&S management system; demonstrate

diligence; gain assurance; etc. The benefits can be substantial.
