This Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) Standard and the accompanying OHSAS 18002, Guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001, have been developed in response to customer demand for a recognizable occupational health and safety management system standard against which their management systems can be assessed and certified. OHSAS 18001 has been developed to be compatible with the ISO 9001:2000 (Quality) and ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental) management systems standards, in order to facilitate the integration of quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems by organizations, should they wish to do so. This OHSAS Standard will be reviewed or amended when considered appropriate. Reviews will be conducted when new editions of either ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 are published, to ensure continuing compatibility. This OHSAS Standard will be withdrawn on publication of its contents in, or as, an International Standard. This OHSAS Standard has been drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (OHSAS 18001:1999), which has been technically revised.

"As with Milt Dentch's previous ASQ books on ISO management systems (ISO 9001 and ISO 14001), his coverage of ISO 45001:2018 manages to be both concise, yet fully informative. Avoiding fluff, the book's guidance on this new ISO health and safety standard provides a helpful section-by-section digest coupled with implementation examples and changes from the OHSAS 18001 requirements." Dennis Sasseville Sustainability Quality Systems Director Worthen Industries, Inc. This handbook explains how an organization can use a management system to both control and improve its safety or occupational health and safety performance. It provides guidance in building the OH&S management system in support of the organization's operations, linking the management system to the requirements of ISO 45001:2018, to support third-party certification. Included in the text are best practices as well as common pitfalls or weaknesses I have observed in various organizations. For those organizations certified according to OHSAS 18001:2007, the book highlights the changes required to upgrade to the new international standard. The ISO 45001:2018 Implementation Handbook is formatted to describe each clause of ISO 45001:2018 in four sections: Correspondence with the current OHSAS 18001 standard The ISO requirement Guidance on conformance to the requirements Questions for internal auditors A CD included with this handbook contains internal auditor check sheets that can be used to assess conformance to ISO 45001:2018. Electronic Books Only: CD-ROM files are available for download.

Take your company beyond basic regulatory compliance and risk reduction. Using the detailed guidance in OHSAS 18001, you can create an occupational health and safety management system that controls health and safety risks, minimizes hazards, improves your organization's near- and long-term performance, and lowers healthcare costs. OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognized certification specification that provides a model for the development of a complete occupational health and safety management system. Patterned after the popular ISO 14001 environmental management system standard, OHSAS 18001 requires the systematic and formal identification of workplace hazards, the assessment of risks associated with those hazards, and identification and implementation of controls to minimize those risks. But the standard only tells you what should be done, not how to do it. The specification leaves the details of developing and implementing internal systems, processes, and procedures that meet the federal requirements up to the participating organizations. That's where this book can help. OHSAS 18001 examines each clause of OHSAS 18001, provides thorough explanations, and details the steps needed to build and implement an effective occupational health and safety management system based on the specification. You'll learn how to incorporate all aspects of an effective management system, including core processes like identifying workplace hazards and assessing the risks; key supporting processes used to maintain an awareness of legal requirements, ensure compentency of employees, provide an adequate infrastructure, and monitor and evaluate performance; and best procedures for implementing and managing system-supporting processes such as document control, record control, and internal auditing. Each handbook contains a companion CD-ROM featuring the author's OH&S Planning Workbook, an Excel workbook full of templates, checklists, and forms.
