The development and implementation of health and safety management systems complying with OHSAS 18001This standard has been developed as a parallel to the environmental management standard ISO14001 and the quality management standard ISO9001. It specifies the requirements for an effective formalised health and safety management system, providing a system that ensures risk is identified and managed and a commitment to continual improvement. In the development of a health and safety management system our first steps are to audit the company operations in the office and, on site, against 18001 and legislative requirements and then to discuss with the relevant directors, partners or managers the results of the audit, identifying existing strengths and weaknesses. Then, based on the company’s existing systems and controls and in a style to blend wit the company culture, develop a health and safety management system incorporating existing good practice and meets the requirements of 18001. Once the system has been developed then regular internal auditing of the system is essential to ensure its continuing positive use. At a later stage the concept of accreditation to the standard will need to be considered and we can assist your management team in the choice of an appropriate accrediting body. Once the system has been accredited we can work with you to develop further if you consider this to be appropriate, the delivery of internal audits, attendance at external accreditation or the training of your own internal auditors may be the way forward. Which ever route you consider to be appropriate you may rely upon us to assist you. |
