OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERNational forewordPublishing informationThis British Standard was published by BSI. It is the official UKimplementation of OHSAS 18001:2007, which supersedes OHSAS 18001:1999.BS OHSAS 18001 will be maintained in line with any changes toOHSAS 18001, subject to the approval of BSI Technical Committee HS/1,Occupational health and safety management, which collated the UK commentson the second Working Draft of OHSAS 18001 and put forward its preferredposition.A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained onrequest to its secretary.Contractual and legal considerationsIn the UK, and Europe generally, there are various legal requirements foroccupational health and safety that apply to the potentially harmful effects ofwork activities and which extend beyond the workplace to those affected byworkplace activities (see Note to 3.12 on the definition of occupational healthand safety). It is essential for the organization to take the matters addressedby these legal requirements into account in establishing, implementing andmaintaining its OH&S management system – and in particular whenidentifying hazards, assessing risks and determining controls (see 4.3.1and 4.3.2). This standard ought therefore to be read in conjunction withBS 8800 and HSG 65,1) which give good practice guidance on complying withsuch legal requirements in the UK.This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity fromlegal obligations.4www.systemkaran.org

OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERForewordThis Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS)Standard and the accompanying OHSAS 18002, Guidelines for theimplementation of OHSAS 18001, have been developed in response tocustomer demand for a recognizable occupational health and safetymanagement system standard against which their management systemscan be assessed and certified.OHSAS 18001 has been developed to be compatible with theISO 9001:2000 (Quality) and ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental)management systems standards, in order to facilitate the integration ofquality, environmental and occupational health and safety managementsystems by organizations, should they wish to do so.This OHSAS Standard will be reviewed or amended when consideredappropriate. Reviews will be conducted when new editions of eitherISO 9001 or ISO 14001 are published, to ensure continuingcompatibility.This OHSAS Standard will be withdrawn on publication of its contentsin, or as, an International Standard.This OHSAS Standard has been drafted in accordance with the rulesgiven in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition(OHSAS 18001:1999), which has been technically revised.The principal changes with respect to the previous edition are asfollows.6 The importance of “health” has now been given greater emphasis. OHSAS 18001 now refers to itself as a standard, not aspecification, or document, as in the earlier edition. This reflectsthe increasing adoption of OHSAS 18001 as the basis for nationalstandards on occupational health and safety management systems. The “Plan-Do-Check-Act” model diagram is only given in theIntroduction, in its entirety, and not also as sectional diagrams atthe start of each major clause. Reference publications in Clause 2 have been limited to purelyinternational documents. New definitions have been added, and existing definitions revised. Significant improvement in alignment with ISO 14001:2004throughout the standard, and improved compatibility withISO 9001:2000. The term “tolerable risk” has been replaced by the term“acceptable risk” (see 3.1). The term “accident” is now included in the term “incident”(see 3.9). The definition of the term “hazard” no longer refers to “damage toproperty or damage to the workplace environment” (see 3.6).www.systemkaran.org
OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERIt is now considered that such “damage” is not directly related tooccupational health and safety management, which is the purpose ofthis OHSAS Standard, and that it is included in the field of assetmanagement. Instead, the risk of such “damage” having an effect onoccupational health and safety should be identified through theorganization’s risk assessment process, and be controlled through theapplication of appropriate risk controls. Sub-clauses 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 have been merged, in line withISO 14001:2004. A new requirement has been introduced for the consideration ofthe hierarchy of controls as part of OH&S planning (see 4.3.1). Management of change is now more explicitly addressed(see 4.3.1 and 4.4.6). A new clause on the “Evaluation of compliance” (see 4.5.2) hasbeen introduced. New requirements have been introduced for participation andconsultation (see 4.4.3.2). New requirements have been introduced for the investigation ofincidents (see 4.5.3.1).This publication does not purport to include all necessary provisions ofa contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with this Occupational Health and SafetyAssessment Series (OHSAS) Standard cannot confer immunityfrom legal obligations.7www.systemkaran.org
OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERIntroductionOrganizations of all kinds are increasingly concerned with achievingand demonstrating sound occupational health and safety (OH&S)performance by controlling their OH&S risks, consistent with theirOH&S policy and objectives. They do so in the context of increasinglystringent legislation, the development of economic policies and othermeasures that foster good OH&S practices, and increased concernexpressed by interested parties about OH&S issues.Many organizations have undertaken OH&S “reviews” or “audits” toassess their OH&S performance. On their own, however, these“reviews” and “audits” may not be sufficient to provide an organizationwith the assurance that its performance not only meets, but willcontinue to meet, its legal and policy requirements. To be effective, theyneed to be conducted within a structured management system that isintegrated within the organization.The OHSAS Standards covering OH&S management are intended toprovide organizations with the elements of an effective OH&Smanagement system that can be integrated with other managementrequirements and help organizations achieve OH&S and economicobjectives. These standards, like other International Standards, are notintended to be used to create non-tariff trade barriers or to increase orchange an organization’s legal obligations.This OHSAS Standard specifies requirements for an OH&S managementsystem to enable an organization to develop and implement a policy andobjectives which take into account legal requirements and informationabout OH&S risks. It is intended to apply to all types and sizes oforganizations and to accommodate diverse geographical, cultural andsocial conditions. The basis of the approach is shown in Figure 1. Thesuccess of the system depends on commitment from all levels andfunctions of the organization, and especially from top management. Asystem of this kind enables an organization to develop an OH&S policy,establish objectives and processes to achieve the policy commitments,take action as needed to improve its performance and demonstrate theconformity of the system to the requirements of this OHSAS Standard.The overall aim of this OHSAS Standard is to support and promote goodOH&S practices, in balance with socio-economic needs. It should benoted that many of the requirements can be addressed concurrently orrevisited at any time.The second edition of this OHSAS Standard is focused on clarificationof the first edition, and has taken due consideration of the provisions ofISO 9001, ISO14001, ILO-OSH, and other OH&S management systemstandards or publications to enhance the compatibility of thesestandards for the benefit of the user community.8www.systemkaran.org
OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERThere is an important distinction between this OHSAS Standard, whichdescribes the requirements for an organization’s OH&S managementsystem and can be used for certification/registration and/orself-declaration of an organization’s OH&S management system, and anon-certifiable guideline intended to provide generic assistance to anorganization for establishing, implementing or improving an OH&Smanagement system. OH&S management encompasses a full range ofissues, including those with strategic and competitive implications.Demonstration of successful implementation of this OHSAS Standardcan be used by an organization to assure interested parties that anappropriate OH&S management system is in place.Those organizations requiring more general guidance on a broad rangeof OH&S management system issues are referred to OHSAS 18002. Anyreference to other International Standards is for information only.Figure 1OH&S management system model for this OHSAS StandardNOTE This OHSAS Standard is based on the methodology known asPlan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA). PDCA can be briefly described as follows. Plan: establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliverresults in accordance with the organization’s OH&S policy. Do: implement the processes. Check: monitor and measure processes against OH&S policy,objectives, legal and other requirements, and report the results. Act: take actions to continually improve OH&S performance.Many organizations manage their operations via the application of asystem of processes and their interactions, which can be referred to as the“process approach”. ISO 9001 promotes the use of the process approach.Since PDCA can be applied to all processes, the two methodologies areconsidered to be compatible.9www.systemkaran.org
OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTERThis OHSAS Standard contains requirements that can be objectivelyaudited; however it does not establish absolute requirements for OH&Sperformance beyond the commitments, in the OH&S policy, to complywith applicable legal requirements and with other requirements towhich the organization subscribes, to the prevention of injury and illhealth and to continual improvement. Thus, two organizations carryingout similar operations but having different OH&S performance can bothconform to its requirements.This OH&S Standard does not include requirements specific to othermanagement systems, such as those for quality, environmental,security, or financial management, though its elements can be alignedor integrated with those of other management systems. It is possible foran organization to adapt its existing management system(s) in order toestablish an OH&S management system that conforms to therequirements of this OHSAS Standard. It is pointed out, however, thatthe application of various elements of the management system mightdiffer depending on the intended purpose and the interested partiesinvolved.The level of detail and complexity of the OH&S management system, theextent of documentation and the resources devoted to it depend on anumber of factors, such as the scope of the system, the size of anorganization and the nature of its activities, products and services, andthe organizational culture. This may be the case in particular for smalland medium-sized enterprises.10www.systemkaran.org
OHSAS18001:2007SYSTEMKARAN ADVISER & INFORMATION CENTEROccupational health and safetymanagement systems –Requirements1 ScopeThis Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS)Standard specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety(OH&S) management system, to enable an organization to control itsOH&S risks and improve its OH&S performance. It does not statespecific OH&S performance criteria, nor does it give detailedspecifications for the design of a management system.This OHSAS Standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:a)establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimizerisks to personnel and other interested parties who could beexposed to OH&S hazards associated with its activities;b)implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&Smanagement system;c)assure itself of its conformity with its stated OH&S policy;d)demonstrate conformity with this OHSAS Standard by:1)making a self-determination and self-declaration, or2)seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having aninterest in the organization, such as customers, or3)seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party externalto the organization, or4)seeking certification/registration of its OH&S managementsystem by an external organization.All the requirements in this OHSAS Standard are intended to beincorporated into any OH&S management system. The extent of theapplication will depend on such factors as the OH&S policy of theorganization, the nature of its activities and the risks and complexity ofits operations.This OHSAS Standard is intended to address occupational health andsafety, and is not intended to address other health and safety areas suchas employee wellbeing/wellness programmes, product safety, propertydamage or environmental impacts.2 Reference publicationsOther publications that provide information or guidance are listed in thebibliography.
