This document discusses the implementation of an OHSAS 18001 health and safety management system. It begins by introducing OHSAS 18001 as an internationally recognized framework for occupational health and safety management systems. The benefits of implementation include controlling health and safety risks, improving performance, and boosting reputation. The timeline then lays out the key activities over a 12 month period to achieve certification, including gap analysis, training, developing documentation, internal audits, and staged external audits by a certification body.
