ISO 18001

There is currently no ISO Standard for Health and Safety Management. The OHSAS 18001 standard (which is often mistaken for ISO 18001) is an internationally accepted framework for assessing and auditing occupational health and safety systems throughout an organisation. 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.
