2/31

What is OSHAS 18001?

Originally developed in early 1990s as

BS8800

Revised in 1999 by BSI to be more

compatible with ISO 14001 Framework for an effective OH&S-MS

17 elements designed in parallel to ISO

14001 Allows third-party certification/registration


3/31

What OSHAS is not

An international standard like ISO9001or ISO 14001

Not prescriptiveno absoluterequirements; very similar to ISO14001


4/31

OSHAS Basics


5/31

OH&S Policy

Clearly states overall OH&S objectives

Authorised by top management

Appropriate to nature & scale of OH&S risks

Documented, implemented, and

maintained

Communicated to all employees

Available to interested parties

Reviewed periodically


6/31

OH&S Policy Commitments

Improve health & safety performance*

Continual improvement

at least comply with current applicable

OH&S legislation and other requirements

* Performance: measurable results of the OH&S managementsystem, related to the organizations control of health andsafety risks, based on its OH&S policy and objectives.


7/31

OH&S Planning

Hazard identification, risk assessment, and

risk control

Legal and other requirements

Objectives

OH&S management program(s)


8/31

Hazard Identification, RiskAssessment & Risk Control

Conceptually similar to environmental

aspects and impactstarget of

management program(s)

Much more detailed than 14001 approach Assessment must address:

routine and non-routine activities

all personnel, including contractors and visitors facilities at the workplace, whether provided by

the organization or by others


9/31


Methodology must be proactive

in advance of process/equipment changes

allow engineering of hazard controls during

design implementation of controls as change occurs

Success requires strong Management of

Change (MOC) procedure


10/31


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


11/31

OH&S Planning


12/31

Implementation & Operation

Structure and responsibilities

Training awareness and competence

Consultation and communication

Documentation

Document and data control

Operational control

13/31

Structure & Responsibilities

authorities, and accountability

Management appointee responsible for

implementation

Resources

Managers must demonstrate commitment

to continual improvement


14/31

Training, Awareness &Competence

Ensure employee awareness and

competence

Take into account differing levels of:

Responsibility

Employee involvement and consultation

in development/review of policies and

procedures

about changes that affect workplace safety orhealth

ensuring representation in OH&S matters

Buy-in, ownership, motivation

Insights of shop floor perspective


16/31

Documentation & Data

Documentation of core elements

aids employee awareness

shows how the various system relate

extremely valuable during certification process

Document and data control procedures

critical documents are available

obsolete documents and data are removed


17/31

Operational Control

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 establish design procedures to

reduce/eliminate source of risks


18/31

Operational Control


19/31

Emergency Preparedness &Response

Emergency response procedures to

address

identifying potential for incidents and

Direct Quantitative Measures

number of lost work days following an injury

decibel levels of noise in a work area

Indirect Qualitative Measures

review of inspection logs

observation of a task

interviews


24/31

Proactive & Reactive Measures

Proactive monitoring of compliance

routine basis, independent of any event

monitoring may be required by regulations

daily equipment checks

periodic review of hot-work permits

team and procedures

root cause analysis

People are involved

human elements


27/31

Mitigate consequences

Eliminate or control root cause

Prevent recurrence

Review action plans through risk

assessment process

Communicate results and monitor


28/31

Records & Record Management

Identification, maintenance, and

disposition

Records must be:

Legible Identifiable

traceable to the activities involved

easily retrievable

protected from damage, deterioration, or loss
