OHSAS 18001 - Is it an effective health & safety risk management tool?
By David Powley - DNV Certification
David Powley, of DNV certification, presents the case for the health & safety management system specification, OHSAS 18001.
In 1999 representatives of the leading Certification Bodies (CB's), or Registrars as known in the USA, met to develop a specification for management systems for health and safety. In effect they ended up with a specification looking remarkably similar to that for environmental management systems, ISO 4001. As it happens this was not such a bad thing. Why?
