ISO 9001 certification establishes quality management systems applicable to all business types, enhancing product/service quality and customer satisfaction. ISO 14001 certification focuses on environmental management to reduce waste, improve compliance, and enhance corporate image. ISO 18001 certification addresses occupational health and safety, promoting integrated quality, environmental, and safety management systems for better employee safety and reduced costs.

ISO 14001:2004 Certification specifies
requirements for an Environmental
Management System to enable an
organization to develop and implement a
policy and objectives which take into
account legal requirements and other
requirements to which the organization
subscribes, and information about
significant environmental aspects. It
applies to those environmental aspects that
the organization identifies as those which
it can control and those which it can
influence. It does not itself state specific
environmental performance criteria.

Phase 3: Implementing the EMS.
Phase 4: Checking for any problems and correcting them.
Phase 5: Evaluating the effectiveness of the EMS and improving it, and
launching into a new cycle of improvement.

7. ISO 18001 Certification
Occupational Health & Safety Management System
ISO 18001 Certification is a consensus standard developed in 1999 by an independent
group of national standards bodies and certification bodies (registrars). OHSAS stands for
Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series. 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 withISO 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. The elements of ISO 18001 Certification(OHSAS) include
1. Developing an OHS Policy
2. Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
3. Identifying Legal Requirements
4. Setting OHS Objectives
5. Establishing an OHS Management Program
6. Training Employees
7. Implementing OHS Control Measures
8. Emergency Planning
9. Document and Record Control
10. Internal Audit Programs
11.Corrective and Preventative Action
12.Management Involvement and Management Review.
13.Steps to OHSAS 18001 Certification

8. ISO 18001 Certification – Benefits
Organizations that have implemented a system to improve the management of health and safety
practices have reported reduced improved employee safety awareness, fewer accidents and
reduced costs. In addition, OHSAS 18001 provides a structure, companies can use to integrate
quality, environmental and safety and health program management for increased management
efficiencies. 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.
Steps of getting ISO 18001 Certification
The process for establishing an OHSAS 18001 management system is essentially the same as the
process used of implementing an ISO 14001 Certification system:
Preliminary review of existing programs and systems
Identification of hazards and applicable laws and regulations
Developing new procedures
Training personnel
Implementing new programs such as internal audit and management review
Seeking certification of the OHSAS program
