2. 
OHSAS 18000 is an international occupational health and safety
management system specification.

Originally developed in early 1990’s as BS8800.

Revised in 1999 by BSI to be more compatible with ISO 14001.

It comprises two parts, 18001 and 18002 and embraces BS8800 and a
number of other publications.

17 elements designed in parallel to ISO 14001 and allows third-party
certification/registration.

3. 
An international standard like ISO 9001or ISO 14001.

An international guideline as ICH.

Not prescriptive –no absolute requirements; very similar to ISO 14001.

OHSAS 18001 was created via a concerted effort from a number of the worlds
leading national standards bodies, certification bodies, and specialist consultancies.

– allow engineering of hazard controls during design
– implementation of controls as change occurs
•
Success requires strong Management of Change (MOC) procedure

12. Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk
Control
•
Process overview
– identification of hazards
– evaluation of risks under current controls
– evaluation of the tolerability of residual risk
– identification of needed additional controls
•
People are involved
– significant risks must be controlled
– individual behaviour is a significant factor

•
Identify operations and activities where risk requires further control
•
Plan these to ensure that
– documented procedures are developed
– operating criteria specify key steps and requirements
– procedures addressing risks related to contractor goods and services
