Service Details

An organization's conformance to OHSAS 18001 safeguards and ensures that employees, clients and all other parties in question are exposed to as few risks as possible, while third-party certification authenticates that an organization has taken steps to avoid accidents and hazardous situations using a comprehensive and effectively implemented system.

An effective occupational health and safety management systems should:
  • Result in the identification of hazards and assessment of risks in the work environment.
  • Provide for the development of methods to eliminate hazards and risks.
  • Result in the implementations of measures to evaluate improvement.
Even though OHSAS 18001 is not recognized as a standard by ISO, it is internationally recognized by more and more international organizations, encompassing a variety of industries requiring their suppliers to be OHSAS certified. Additionally, since OHSAS is similar in structure to ISO 9001 and 14001, it is possible for an organization to integrate OHSAS 18001 with ISO 14001 allowing a single audit.
