•Introduction
•Principle
•Classification
•Certification Process

3. What is safety ?
Safety
Safety refers
to the state of
being
protected
from harm,
danger, or
risk.

4. Why we need safety ?
Bhopal Gas Tragedy, :
one of the most devastating industrial
accidents in history. It occurred on the night
of December 2-3, 1984, in Bhopal, Madhya
Pradesh, India. The disaster was caused by
the release of a highly toxic gas, methyl
isocyanate (MIC), from a pesticide plant
owned by Union Carbide India Limited
(UCIL)
it is estimated that at least 15,000 to 20,000
people died as a direct result of the gas leak.

5. The Chernobyl disaster :
one of the most catastrophic nuclear accidents
in history. It occurred on April 26, 1986, at the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Pripyat, in
what was then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist
Republic, part of the Soviet Union. The
accident is considered the worst nuclear power
plant disaster to date in terms of its immediate
impact on human life and the long-term
environmental consequences.
it was estimated that the total number of
deaths directly attributed to the Chernobyl
disaster could reach up to 4,000.

6. OHSMS - Occupational Health and Safety
Management System
• An Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) is
a fundamental part of an organization's risk management strategy.
Implementing an OHSMS enables an organization to:
• Protect its workforce and others under its control
• Compliance with legal requirements
• Facilitate continual improvement

7. • Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)
• Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)
OHSAS 18001 - Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series

8. OHSAS 18001
OHSAS 18001 certification is the "Occupational/commercial Health and Safety"
standard published via British Standards Institute.
• The BSI published the OHSAS 18000 Series in 1999.
• The Series consisted of two specifications : 18001 provided requirements for an OHS
management system and 18002 gave implementation guidelines.
• 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.

9. OHSAS 18001
It is a set of factors and conditions that impress the soundness and protection of all
people (employees, temporary workers, subcontractor employees, visitors,
customers, and anyone in the workplace) who are affected by the activities of an
organization.
• BSI (British Standards Institution) cancelled OHSAS 18001 to adopt ISO 45001.
• ISO 45001 was published in March 2018 by the International Organization for
Standardization. Organizations that are certified to OHSAS 18001 were able to
migrate to ISO 45001 by March 2021 to retain a recognized certification.

10. Principle of OHSAS
• The OHSAS 18001 is based on the principle of steady improvement and plans the
introduction of work safety and health protection management system.
• The principle of steady improvement is based on the PDCA cycle, also known as the
Deming wheel or the Shewhart cycle. PDCA/PDSA cycle is a continuous loop of
planning, doing, checking (or studying), and acting.
• provides a simple and effective approach for solving problems and managing change.
• The model is useful for testing improvement measures on a small scale before updating
procedures and working practices.

13. PDCA IN OH&S MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
*Plan ; Assess risk, identify applicable regulations
* Do ; Identify responsibility and accountability, training, communicate, control and
prepare for emergencies.
* Check; Monitor, Record, Audit (Check, Examination, Review, Assessment)
* Act to improve

14. Requirement and certification process of OHSAS 18001
The OHSAS 18001 certification is an international standard certification that provides a framework
to control, identify, and decrease the risks associated with health and safety within the workplace.
The certification process involves the following steps;
1.OH&S Policy: Creation of an OH&S policy.
2.Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Controls: Identification of hazards
and risks associated with the workplace, assessment of the risks, and determining the controls to
mitigate the risks.
3.Legal and Other Requirements: Identification of legal and other requirements related to OH&S
and ensuring compliance with them.

15. Requirement and certification process of OHSAS 18001 contd…
5. Objectives and Programs: Establishment of OH&S objectives and programs to
achieve them.
6.Resources, Roles, Responsibility, Accountability, and Authority: Identification of
resources, roles, responsibility, accountability, and authority for OH&S management.
7.Competence, Training, and Awareness: Identification of competence requirements,
provision of training, and awareness programs for OH&S management.
8.Communication, Participation, and Consultation: Establishment of communication,
participation, and consultation processes for OH&S management

16. 9. Documentation and Record Control: Establishment of documentation and
record control procedures to meet OHSAS 18001 requirements.
10. Operational Control: Establishment of operational control procedures to
manage OH&S risks.
11. Emergency Preparedness and Response: Establishment of emergency
preparedness and response procedures to manage emergency situations related to
OH&S.

17. Benefits of OSHAS
The advantages of implementing OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health
and Safety Management Standard are:
• Reduction of work incidents
• Compliance with work safety regulations
• Prevention of ill health or work injuries
• Improvement of business credibility and brand image
• Improved feed-back from national and international market
• Increased access to public tenders

18. Benefits of OSHAS
• Improved relationships with national and local institutions
• Reduction of controls and facilities in obtaining administrative authorizations
• Demonstration of a reasonable awareness
• Meeting investor requirements by facilitating access to capital
• Attainment of more competitive insurance policies
• Improved staff relationships

19. ISO
• ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-
governmental international organization with a membership of 168 national
standards bodies.
• ISO 9000 – Quality Management
• ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management
• ISO/IEC 27000 – Information Security Management Systems
• ISO 31000 – Risk Management
• ISO 45001-Occupational health

20. ISO 45001
• ISO 45001 is a global standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management
Systems that provides a practical solution to improve the safety and health of
both employees and other personnel. This ISO 45001 standard has been
designed to apply to any company regardless of its size, type and nature.
The ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
(OHSMS) training enables the organisation to improve its occupational health
and safety performance to prevent injury and ill-health.

21. ISO 45001 was developed to replace OHSAS 18001 and become the new
global standard for OSH management systems.
It is designed to improve the way organizations manage health and safety
risks, and provides practical solutions for worker safety,
The standard puts a greater emphasis on risk management, requiring
organizations to take a risk-based approach to proactively identify sources or
situations that have the potential to cause harm,
By implementing ISO 45001, organizations may be able to demonstrate
compliance with health and safety law.

22. Objectives
• The main objective of this standard is to help companies to adopt good practices
and encourage care aimed at the health and quality of life of workers. The
standard defines that organizations are fully responsible for the health of
their professionals, and must offer good working conditions to everyone.

23. Requirement and Certification process of ISO 45001
Obtaining ISO 45001 certification involves several steps,
including ;
learning about the standard,
 performing a gap analysis and initial OH&S review and risk
analysis,
planning, educating the organization, designing and
documenting the OH&S management system,
developing an internal audit system,
 developing a management review system,
and developing a procedure for reporting, investigating, and
taking action to determine and manage incidents and
nonconformities and corrective action

24. Requirement continue
 Once the OH&S management system is in place, an organization can
schedule an audit with an accredited third-party certification body.
 The certification body will review the organization's processes and
documentation to ensure compliance with the ISO 45001 standard.
 If the organization meets the requirements, it will receive ISO 45001
certification.
The certification is valid for three years, and organizations must undergo
annual surveillance audits to maintain certification.

25. Benefits
Improve employee safety: The most obvious benefit of ISO 45001 is the
potential to reduce workplace illnesses and injuries. It gives your
organization the tools to save lives and prevent injuries.
Boost stakeholder confidence: ISO 45001 certification can increase
stakeholder confidence in your organization's ability to manage OHS risks
and hazards.
Increase productivity: By reducing the number of accidents and illnesses,
ISO 45001 can help increase productivity and reduce downtime.
Lower insurance costs: Implementing ISO 45001 can provide a platform
to attract lower insurance premiums as it proves the organization is
performing strong due diligence in managing and protecting their
employees.

26. Contd..
Foster management involvement & accountability: ISO 45001 requires top
management to be actively involved in the OHS management system, which can
help foster a culture of safety and accountability
Reduce risk: ISO 45001 can help organizations identify and manage OHS risks
and hazards, reducing the likelihood of accidents and illnesses
Identify opportunities: By identifying and managing OHS risks and hazards, ISO
45001 can help organizations identify opportunities for improvement and
innovation
Stand out as an industry leader: ISO 45001 certification can help your
organization stand out as a leader in OHS management, demonstrating your
commitment to employee safety and well-being

28. Comparision of OHSAS 18001:2007 & ISO 45001:2018
The OHSAS 18001 certification primarily focuses on the occupational risk of any
organisation while the ISO 45001 focuses on both the risk and opportunities. By doing
so, it not only eliminates the chance of future hazards and also finds opportunities to
improve the overall safety standard.
