Companies can reap considerable benefits from developing an efficient health and safety management system certified to OHSAS 18001. This system can make the management of health and safety more effective by translating risk assessments into action plans to improve your organization’s overall health and safety performance, and ensure compliance to the required standards.

This Guide, written by experienced OHSAS 18001 management system assessors and experts in the field of hazard assessment, provides a step-by-step process to develop an OH&S-MS that will meet both OHSAS 18001 and VPP requirements. The process is intended for sites needing to build a system from the ground up, and those with a system partially implemented. This process is also ideal for sites that already use either ISO 9001 Quality Management System or ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, and each chapter shows how you can build on aspects from either program.

Included in the Guide:
• Clause-by-clause interpretation of the OHSAS 18001 standards
• Case studies and examples drawn from industry practice
• Sample procedures and documents to customize to your facility's needs
• Implementation checklists
• Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
• Access to on-line individualized help
