OHSAS 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system specification that comprises two parts and other publications. It was created by standards bodies and certification organizations to standardize OH&S systems and reduce workplace confusion. OHSAS 18001 helps organizations control health and safety risks, establish OH&S management systems, and seek certification of their systems. It is applicable to any organization seeking to manage OH&S risks and continually improve their system.

“Pharmaceutical Processing is the process of drug manufacturing and can be broken down into a range of unit operations such as blending, granulation, milling, coating, tablet pressing, filling and others.
A vendor audit is a vehicle used by pharmaceutical companies, and other large companies as well, to inspect and evaluate a vendor’s quality management system, as well as its practices, products, and documentation.
The need to conduct vendor audits stems from a higher need for quality control in an industry that needs to be more regulated than any other industry in the world.
Reason why organizations use audits is to reduce cost and improve quality control
The objective of vendor audit is to develop an audit function comprising of qualified resources to effectively perform compliance audits to ensure that the contracts are being executed in accordance with the intent and address the net benefit to include cost recoveries, process improvement savings, fraud improvement and identification of hidden risks.
In order to reduce the cost pharmaceutical companies have increasingly become dependent on their supplier/ out sourcing partners for customer success. Though it has drastically reduced the production cost for companies, there is a heightened supplier risk and lack of visibility into supplier processes.
To gain an insight into supplier process and eliminate the risks, FDA encourages companies to conduct GMP supplier audit at the manufacturing premises of the supplier.
According to GMP code, it is sole responsibility of pharmaceutical industry to ensure that the suppliers manufacturing process, analytical tests and examinations are carried out reliably by the supplier and are in compliances with the applicable standards and regulations.
After the audit supplier must provide an appropriate corrective action plan with measures that that will be implemented by the supplier within a defined time frame to the manufacturer.

Effective housekeeping can eliminate some workplace hazards and help get a job done safely and properly. Poor housekeeping can frequently contribute to accidents by hiding hazards that cause injuries. If the sight of paper, debris, clutter and spills is accepted as normal, then other more serious health and safety hazards may be taken for granted.
ISO 45001 is the latest occupational health and safety management system standard which is being developed by the ISO. This standard will replace OHSAS 18001, and set specific requirements for an occupational health and safety management that will enable the organizations toward ensuring safety and health in workplace. This webinar will give you a detailed description of all changes when transitioning from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001.
Main points covered:
• Overview of ISO 45001 and reason why the revision of OHSAS 18001 was necessary
• ISO 45001 most significant changes and related standards affected by this change
• Recommendations on what steps to take when going through transition

ISO 45001 is the world’s international standard for occupational health and safety, issued to protect employees and visitors from work-related accidents and diseases. ISO 45001 certification was developed to mitigate any factors that can cause employees and businesses irreparable harm.
Its standards are the result of great effort by a committee of health and safety management experts who looked closely at a number of other approaches to system management — including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. In addition, ISO 45001 was designed to take other existing occupational health and safety standards, such as OHSAS 18001, into account — as well as the ILO’s labor standards, conventions and safety guidelines.
This implementation guide will help you run through the benefits, PDCA Cycle, Annex SL structure in detail for implementing ISO 45001.

1. OHSAS 18000 is an international occupational health and safety
management system specification. It comprises two parts, 18001 and 18002
and embraces a number of other publications.
OHSAS 18001 is an Occupation Health and Safety Assessment Series for
health and safety management systems. It is intended to help an
organizations to control occupational health and safety risks. It was
developed in response to widespread demand for a recognized standard
against which to be certified and assessed.
Who Created OHSAS:
OHSAS 18001 was created via a concerted effort from a number of the
worlds leading national standards bodies, certification bodies, and specialist
consultancies. A main driver for this was to try to remove confusion in the
workplace from the proliferation of certifiable OH&S specifications.
The participants were as follows:
National Standards Authority of Ireland.
Standards Australia.
South African Bureau of Standards.
British Standards Institution.
Bureau Veritas Quality International.
Det Norske Veritas.
Lloyds Register Quality Assurance.
National Quality Assurance.
SFS Certification.
SGS Yarsley International Certification Services.

Benefits - How Can OHSAS Help?
The OHSAS specification is applicable to any organisation that wishes
to:
Establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimise risk
to employees and other interested parties who m ay be exposed to
OH&S risks associated with its activities.
Assure itself of its conformance with its stated OH&S policy.
Demonstrate such conformance to others.
Implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S management
system.
Make a self-determination and declaration of conformance with this
OHSAS specification.
Seek certification/registration of its OH&S management system by an
external organisation.
What are the key features of OHSAS
18001:2007?
Great emphasis placed on "Health"
Alignment with ISO 14001:2004 throughout the standard to facilitate
integration.
Compatibility with ISO 9001:2000.
3. Reference to PDCA cycle.
"Evaluation of Compliance" requested as per ISO 14001:2004.
People involvement in establishing the system and investigation of
incidents.
Suitability for management system certification
OHSAS 18001 standard be integrated with
other management systems?
OHSAS 18001 has been developed to ensure the compatibility with the ISO
9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (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.
The overall structure of the standard is similar to other r elevant standard and
many key requirements are common to all systems (e.g. policy, objectives,
document control, internal auditing, management review, corrective and
preventive actions)
Such integrated standardization approach allows certification bodies t o
provide organizations with Integrated Management System certification
including all the three major standards for Quality, Environment, Health and
Safety.
Who does the OHSAS 18001 standard apply
to?
The OHSAS Standard applies to any organization that wishes to:
Support and promote good OH&S prctices.
Minimize safety risks in the work environment.
Ensure the proper deployment of its OH&S policy and the achievement
of objectives.
Introduce a common language for health and safety within the
organization.
Establish, deploy, monitor and improve the OH&S management
system.
Demonstrate OHSAS conformance to Stakeholders.
4. Achieving the OH&S management system certification by a third party
certification body.
The OHSAS 18001 effective implementation requires a clear management
structure with clearly defined authority and responsibility, measurable
objectives for improvement, a systematic approach to risk assessment and
measurable results. This includes the monitoring of health and safety
management failures, auditing of performance and review of policies and
objectives.
How to get OHSAS 18001 certification?
The management certification process follows the following steps:
Application for registration.
Initial Certification Audit to verify the compliance with OHS AS 18001
requirement. Such audit consist of Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits.
Certification granting by the Certification Body and maintained by the
Organization.
Surveillance Audit to confirm the maintenance of compliance with the
requirements.
Re-certification audit after three years.
Stage 1- the purpose of this visit is to determine the organization’s readiness
for a full assessment.
The assessor will:
Audit the organization’s management system documentation.
confirm that the OH&S management system conforms to the
requirements of the standard.
confirm its implementation status.
5. confirm the scope of certification.
check legislative compliance.
evaluate if the internal audits and management review are being
planned and performed and that the management system
implementation is ready for Stage 2 Audit.
produce a report that identifies any non-compliance or potential for
non-compliance and agree a corrective action plan if required.
produce an audit plan and confirm a date for the Stage 2 assessment
visit
Stage 2 – this Audit shall take place at site and aim to confirm if the
management system complies with the requirements of OHSAS 18001 and
the internal documentation.
The Auditor shall verify:
the conformity to all requirements of the applicable management
system standard or other normative document.
performance monitoring, measuring, reporting and reviewing against
key performance.
objectives and targets (consistent with the expectations in the
applicable management system standard or other normative
document).
the management system and performance as regards legal compliance.
the effective implementation of the risk management approach.
the operational control of the processes.
the internal auditing and management review
The auditor shall
6. report any non-compliances or potential for non-compliance.
produce a surveillance plan and confirm a date for the first surveillance
visit
If the Auditor identifies any critical or major non-conformance, the
organization cannot be certified until corrective action is taken and verified.
