The [[OHSAS 18001]] standard (which is often mistaken and incorrectly identified as ISO 18001) is a framework for assessing and auditing occupational health and safety systems throughout an organisation and is part of the OHSAS 18000 series of standards. | |||
Like an [[ISO]] standard it requires processes and procedures to be implemented which identifies and controls health and safety risks to their workforce or contractors operating on their premises or whilst undertaking a job or a service on behalf of the organisation. Having an effective management system in place demonstrates an organisations commitment to the welfare of its staff and resources. | |||
BS OHSAS 18001 has now been replaced by [[ISO 45001]], the new international standard for occupational health and safety. Organisations who are already certified to BS OHSAS 18001 are required to upgrade to [[ISO 45001]] by March 2021<ref>https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/ohsas-18001-occupational-health-and-safety</ref> | |||
