OHSAS 18001 Overview


Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series is for health and safety management
systems. It is intended to help an organization control and manage occupational health and
safety risks.

It was developed in response to widespread demand for a recognized standard against which
an organization could be certified and assessed.

Main emphasis is on the elimination, reduction or control of hazards and risks associated with
the business

Structure and content of the system is guided by the OHS legislative obligations for the
business;

System scope extends to everyone entering the premises of the organisation

OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) is an internationally


recognised standard

These standards are complimented by AS/NZS 4804/OHSAS 18002 - Guidelines for the
implementation of OHSAS 18001, respectively

The guidance notes (Appendices) in OHSAS 18001 are providing additional


information on the requirements of this standard and correspondence between ISO
9001 and ISO 14001.

Legislation

Acts and Regulations


Acts provide the general framework and Regulations contain specific requirements for a
range of workplace issues.
There can be several Regulations under one Act.
The requirements contained in Acts and Regulations are mandatory.
Failure to meet these obligations is an offence and may be subject to prosecution.

ISC Pty Ltd RABQSA-OH Module 1, Rev 0 July 07 10


International Standards Certifications Pty. Ltd.

Australian Standards, Codes of Practice and Guidelines

Unless specifically quoted in Acts or Regulations, the requirements contained in Australian


Standards, Codes of Practice and other Guidelines are not mandatory, i.e. a person or company
cannot be prosecuted solely on the basis that those requirements were not met.

However, in legal proceedings, failure to meet the specifications contained in Australian Standards,
Code of Practice or Guideline can be used as evidence that a person or company has failed to meet
the obligations contained in the Acts and Regulationsor been met by an alternative course of
action [Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000, Section 46].

Where standards are quoted in legislation, the requirements of that standard are mandatory unless
Work Cover has indicated otherwise. Also, if there is an inconsistency between requirements
contained in legislation and a standard, then the legislation prevails [Occupational Health and Safety
Regulation 2001, Schedule 1(b)&(c)].

In Australia, Occupational health and safety is the responsibility of each state and territory. The
commonwealth government has its own health and safety laws for commonwealth employees.

Objectives and Management Programmes

4.3.3 Objectives and targets

Establish & maintain documented OHS objectives at each relevant function and level of the
organisation;

When establishing such objectives consideration should be given to;


Legal & other requirements;
Hazards and risks;
Technological options;
Financial, operational and business requirements and
the views of interested parties.

The objectives shall be consistent with the OH&S policy, including the commitment to continual
improvement.

Should be SMART

Simple
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-bound

3 main types, objectives to;

Investigate, Monitor & Measure


(e.g. Establish current compliance levels with MEL for COSHH Regs )
Control
(e.g. Develop and implement formal permit to work systems for ALL contractors by the end of May
2008)
Improve
(e.g. Reduce accident rates from 2 per month to Zero by the end of 2008).

Examples of types of OHS objectives include:


reduction of risk levels;
the introduction of additional features into the OH&S management system;
the steps taken to improve existing features, or the consistency of their application;
the elimination or the reduction in frequency of particular undesired incident(s);
compliance with a legislative requirement.

What to look for as an auditor


Check: That ALL OHS objectives have been encapsulated within the system. Check the
business plan, group, quality, environmental and departmental objectives, for OH&S elements
that may have been excluded.

Check: That objectives are consistent with the concept of continuous improvement, i.e.
objectives should not be set to maintain current levels of OHS performance (unless of
course the objective was to maintain the organisations zero accident performance).

Check: That personnel and/or functions which could have an effect on the outcome of a
particular OH&S objective, have been made aware of how their contribution will ensure that
the overall objective is achieved.

CHECK: That when setting or reviewing its objectives the organisation has considered failure to
meet legal obligations;
Where compliance is not met, check that objectives are set to comply by a agree timeframe
with the regulator

e.g. Objective; To conduct specific Manual Handling Risk Assessments in order to comply
fully with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations
Its Significant Hazards and risks;
CHECK: The organisations risk assessments, where a significant or intolerable hazard
has been identified, check that an objective has been set to eliminate, control or minimise the hazard
and the associated risks.

Technological options
CHECK: The company has made an assessment as to the technological options available, to
eliminate, control or minimise the significant or intolerable hazards and risks identified.

EXAMPLE:
Objective: Eliminate the handling of hazardous substances in the production
area through the introduction of mechanical feed controls

Check: That sufficient financial resources are provided. Checking the business plan, company
accounts, or departmental budgets can assess this.

Check: that objectives are balanced against other considerations e.g. productivity, quality and
environmental to ensure they are attainable.

Establish & maintain documented management programme(s) for achieving OH&S objectives;

Responsibilities shall be assigned for the achievement of the companys OH&S objectives, along with
the means and time-scales by which the objectives are to be achieved.

Management programme is to be regularly reviewed, and amended to address changes to the


activities, products and services, or operating conditions of the organisation.

Establish whether a formal OHS management programme has been developed to facilitate the
achievement of the organisations OHS objectives.
CHECK: The management programme specifies;
Who is responsible, and has overall authority, for achieving the OHS
Objective(s);

an organisational OHS system. The organisations need to plan effectively to overcome these
barriers.

How to over come potential barriers to effectively implementation of an organisational


OHSMS.

Man The organization may eliminate by conducting appropriate trainings to ensure all its
personnel are aware of the OHS system in place and helps to the effective implementation of
OHS.

Machine The organization should identify the machines, equipment that poses hazards to
health and safety of its employees and thereafter initiate necessary action such as providing
machine guarding, confinement, work permit system and other methods.

Method Some work instructions may need amendment where, records reveal health and
safety matters were being jeopardized. This may need further studies to find out the best
possible method of workmanship standard that may eliminate hazards on health and safety.
Once the method is identified there should be proper implementation to be effective.

Materials Material or items utilized by its employees, may on itself be a danger, it is


necessary to determine the chemical composition or the component being used if it poses
danger to the health and safety of the personnel being exposed to the materials.

Money Top management need to ensure sufficient financial resources to implement the
system.

Roles and responsibilities of personnel having an effect on OHS risks to be defined and
documented;
Ultimate responsibility for OHS rests with top management;
