OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems

OHSAS 18000 is an international series of occupational health & safety management systems (OHSMS) standards.

The standards in the OHSAS 18000 family are:

OHSAS 18001:2007 - Occupational health and safety management systems - Requirements
- Specifies the requirements for an occupational health & safety management system. It is the standard against which organizations are assessed. Fulfilling these requirements demands objective evidence which can be audited to demonstrate that the occupational health & safety management system is operating effectively in conformity to the standard. It is generic and flexible enough to apply to any organization producing and/or manufacturing any product, or providing a service.

OHSAS 18002: 2008 - Occupational health and safety management systems - Guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001:2007
- Provides guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001:2007. It explains the requirements of OHSAS 18001:2007 and how to work towards implementation.

The following are the key elements of an OHSAS 18001:2007 OHSMS:

1. Occupational Health & Safety policy - the organization states its intentions and commitment to improving health & safety performance.

2. Planning - the organization identifies hazards associated with its operations and assesses the risks.

3. Implementation and operation - the development and execution of processes to realize occupational health & safety (OH & S) objectives.

4. Checking and corrective action - monitoring and measurement of OH & S performance to ensure that objectives are met.

5. Management review - review of the OHSMS by the organization’s top management to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

6. Continual improvement – enhancing the OHSMS in order to achieve improvements in OH & S performance consistent with the organisation’s OH & S policy.

Kaizen Consulting Group's Business Process Methodology

Kaizen Consulting Group uses a unique Business Process flowcharting methodology as the core principle to customise the OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) for each of our client.

Using the existing natural business flow of our client's as the framework to build the Occupational Health & Safety Management System, we then map the OHSAS 18001:2007 requirements into the established framework to identify where the individual requirements of the standard apply within the business. Each requirement is examined to determine which part of the business process is affected by the requirement or already satisfies the requirement.

Our approach complements the existing working methods and organisational culture, rather than an imposed a bureaucracy of control solely developed for the sake of OHSAS 18001:2007 certification.
