The International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) has released a
new standard for the 18001 accreditation in 2007.
In these specifications they deal with the
defined requirements that your company’s occupational health and safety
management systems (OHSMS) should follow in order to be certified.
The overall purpose of these newer management
standards is to make sure that companies can reduce problems and risks to their
employee’s occupational health and safety.
The important thing to remember is that the ISO
Ohsas 18001 Certification will vary
depending on the size of your business and the conditions under which your
company operates.
For instance, a small
business that deals mainly in child care may not have to worry about the same
kind of recommendations as a larger construction company.
Many companies have worked hard to meet these standards but they do not
necessarily have an accreditation with the ISO.
This means that while they are compliant with the standards, they have
not officially registered with the ISO to be audited and receive an official
certification to prove that you are compliant with ISO OHSAS 18001.
Before you ask for an auditor to check your company for compliance, one
of the first things that you need to do it to read through the safety standards
and write down a policy for your employees and your business that matches these
standards.
This will include writing
down a system of procedures and methods that your company can use to identify
potential health and safety risks as well as ways to handle problems should
they occur.
You will also want to make
sure that if there are any areas of safety that need to be addressed
immediately that you have a set of programs in place to address and achieve the
objectives that have been outlined in the ISO OHSAS 18001 standards.
In order to make sure that your company is doing everything possible to
ensure its safety compliance you will want to appoint someone within the
company to be in charge of the policies and managing the occupational health
and safety of all employees.
This way
you can be sure that any potential risks or problems that could occur are being
looked at and dealt with on a daily basis.
This person would also be in charge of coming up with the company’s
unique management system and a written protocol for employees to follow to help
ensure that the business is remaining up to code with the standards.
When you get the certification for ISO OHSAS 18001 the company will be
audited by an external company to make sure that you are following all of the
standards correctly and that you are doing everything possible to maintain
these standards.
After you receive the
accreditation, the company will probably want to keep up with internal audits
so that they can address any potential threats or hazards in a timely
manner.
This will also allow you to
improve and update the management system so that you can be sure that when you
apply for re-accreditation you will be sure to meet the standards of ISO OHSAS
18001.
