What is OHSAS
• OHSAS stands for Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series. OHSAS 18001 is a consensus standard developed in 1999 by an independent group of national standards bodies and certification bodies (registrars) for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems created to enable organizations to control occupational health and safety risks and to improve performances.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
What is OHSAS
• OHSAS 18001 is designed to place a proactive and preventative emphasis on risk control factors by identifying and assessing the likelihood of hazards in the workplace. OHSAS 18001 can be implemented by organizations of all sizes and in any industry.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
What is OHSAS• When an organization conforms to
OHSAS 18001, it ensures that all people directly or indirectly involved with the company are exposed to a minimum number of risks. A third party certification ensures that effective steps have been put in place to avoid accidents and unsafe situations.

OHSAS 18001
• OHSAS 18001(Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series)o published in April 1999
o specifies requirements of a OH&S MS
o designed to be applicable to
• all types and sizes of companies
• diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions.
• Not mandatory, Voluntary basis
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
OHSAS 18001• Certification against OHSAS
is aimed at the way a company has
o knowledge of ...o and control over ...
all relevant risks resulting fromnormal operations and abnormal situations.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
OHSAS 18001• Growing demand for a management
system based standard for OH&S
• stand alone management system or integrated with either their ISO 14001 or ISO 9001 management system.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
OHSAS 18001
• OHSAS 18001 structure - six sections: • General Requirements
• OH&S Policy
• Planning
• Implementation and Operation
• Checking and Corrective Action
• Management Review

OHSAS 18001
OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) 18001
• OHSAS 18001: Specifications for OH&S Management Systems
• OHSAS 18002: Guidance for OH&S Management Systems
• OHSAS 18003: Criteria for auditors of OH&S Management Systems
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
WHY WAS OHSAS DEVELOPED?
• In response to urgent customer demand for a recognizable occupational health and safety management system standard
• Need for health and safety management system that could be audited and certified
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
What is Occupational Health & Safety?
Conditions and factors that affect, or could affect the health and safety of employees or other workers (Including temporary workers and contract personnel), visitors, or any other person in the workplace.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
Compatibility of OHSAS with ISO 9001& ISO 14001:
• OHSAS 18001 is structured the same way as ISO 14001, the environmental management system standard, and has essentially the same elements. It was specifically developed to be compatible with ISO 9001, the quality management system standard, and ISO 14001 to allow companies to develop and register integrated quality, environmental and occupational safety and health management systems.
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
Compatibility of OHSAS with ISO 9001& ISO 14001: Many companies find they need to address
health and safety elements as they implement ISO 14001 management systems because of the strong interconnection between environmental and safety and health programs in areas such as emergency planning and risk assessment.
ISO 14001+OHSAS18001=EHS, ISO9001+ISO14001+OHSAS18001=IMS
Mukesh Bhalse, Manager ISO & MR
Benefits of OHSAS Certification:
Organizations that have implemented a system to improve the management of health and safety practices have reported improved employee safety awareness, fewer accidents and reduced costs.

History of OHSAS 1996 - BSI 8800 Guidelines for the OHSMS
by BIS (Non auditable & Non Certifiable) 1999 - OHSAS 18001: 1999 BSI introduced
the first OHSAS standard (Auditable & Certifiable); the specification outlines the prerequisites for any occupational health and safety management system, which aids an institution to control risks to enhance performance.
2007 - Updated to better align with ISO 14001, Health is a focus.

Who recognizes it? It is a challenge to create an effective (and
flexible enough to become universally accepted) tool that covers employees interests efficiently. Although the International Standards Organization (ISO) does not consider OHSAS 18001 an official ISO standard, it is recognized across the globe by several industries, which insist on this certification.
Many employees are being exposed to a number of harmful by-products of modern day industrialization. Hence, health and safety management is on the forefront of all policy-making tools to safeguard workers well-being and security.
