Organization Roles in OHSMS

Aware of the process of risk creation and their role in

managing it.

Establish a systematic structure to manage hazards from

planning, design, operation and emergency response level

Participation and understanding from all levels of

organization

Line managers have to champion efforts in safety and health

management because it is in their operations where most the
hazards lies

It is not effective for one part of an organization to keep

creating more risks while another part of the organization is
solely responsible and tasked to manage those risks

OHSAS 18001 Under

Review

OHSAS Standards and Certificates surveys conducted in

2003, 2004, 2005 have shown:
significant growth in the worldwide publication of OH&S
standards/documents (44)
Rapid growth in certification against these standards (15185)
Significant growth in the number of countries where these
standards are used and certification is performed (82)

OHSAS was under review by the OHSAS Project Group since

February 2006. Initial Working Draft 1 of OHSAS 18001
prepared by the OHSAS Project Group Secretariat, and
circulated for review, February 2006

Source: OHSAS Project Group

OHSAS 18001 Under Review

Madrid meeting, Oct 2006, to review the received comments

1000+ comments received

To review every comment, and to prepare a response to each comment

A revised draft of 18001

A decision on whether to proceed to publication, or to go for a second round of

consultation

2nd Working draft issued on 28 November 2006.

549 comments received

from 46 groups of commentators
based in 24 different countries
covering all major continents

All comments reviewed during the OHSAS Project Group meeting 26 - 29

March 2007, in Shanghai.

Consensus reached on draft for publication

OHSAS 18001 under review

OHSAS 18001:2007 has been published in

July 2007

The Group will now focus its attention on OHSAS

18002 to be published by mid 2008 and later
competence requirements for auditors.

Transition

The OHSAS Project Group has also recommended a

transition period of 24 months:
by 1 July 2009 no OHSAS 18001:1999 certificates shall be
recognized by the leading certification and accreditation bodies.

This is a longer transition period than ISO 14001, for

instance, due to the various changes and translation issues.

Transition Plan
Any existing accredited certificates issued
to OHSAS 18001:1999 will no longer be
valid. Outstanding nonconformities to the
new standard will become active and will
affect certification/registration.

End of Transition
01/01/2008

01/07/2007

Implementation Time

Preparation Time
Both standards can be used for new and existing clients.
When the Certification/Registration Bodies (CRBs) agree
with the existing and new client organizations on whether
OHSAS 18001:1999 or OHSAS 18001:2007 is to be used
as the audit criteria, the standard being used shall be
identified in the audit plan for initial audit, surveillance or
reassessment.

01/07/2009

All audit plans prepared for existing and new client

organizations should include OHSAS 18001:2007
as the audit criteria.
For existing clients, NCs against new standard
become active on 01/07/2009.

Main changes

The new version is better aligned to ISO 9001:2000 and ISO

14001:2004, keeping its same clauses order and most of
the changes of ISO 14001:2004.
This will encourage Management System integration and
possibly increase the interest to OHSAS.
OHSAS 18001:2007 is also more focused on results, than on
paper exercise.
The importance of "health" has now been given greater
emphasis balanced with "safety".
Focus on occupational safety, not getting distracted with
assets, security etc
