The document discusses the international occupational health and safety management system specification OHSAS 18000. It originated in the 1990s as BS8800 and was later revised in 1999 as OHSAS 18001 and 18002 to be more compatible with ISO 14001. OHSAS 18000 comprises 17 elements that are designed similarly to ISO 14001 and allows for third-party certification. It provides guidelines for occupational health and safety management systems including hazard identification, legal requirements, objective setting, implementation, checking and corrective action, and management reviews.

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
Krupanidhi college of Pharmacy (Quality Assurance)

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
