OHSAS 18001
• Produced in 1999.
• Specification produced by several organisations (both
from the UK and internationally) led by the BSI.
• The management system model used in OHSAS
18001 is the ISO 14001 model.
• As a specification, OHSAS 18001 lists a number of
management system requirements using ‘shall’
statements such as ‘the organisation shall establish
and maintain documented health and safety
objectives, at each relevant function and level within
the organisation’.
OHSAS 18002
• Produced in 2000.
• Provides generic guidance on the application of
18001.
• This document describes the intent, typical inputs,
processes and typical outputs, against each
requirement of 18001.
• Purpose is to aid the understanding and
implementation of OHSAS 18001.

Practical Aspects of a H&S
Management System
The Health & Safety Policy (1)
• An OH&S policy establishes an overall sense of
direction and sets the principles of action for an
organisation.
• It sets goals for the level of OHS responsibility and
performance required from the mine.
• It demonstrates the formal commitment towards good
OH&S management, particularly that of the
organisation’s top management.

Planning for Health & Safety
Management
Planning for OH&S involves:
• Identifying requirements for the system -
what needs to be done
• Setting clear performance criteria -
what is to be done
• Identifying who is responsible -
who gets it done
• Setting time scales -
when it should be done by
• Identifying the desired outcome -
what should be the result
Both BS8800 and OHSAS 18001 identify
three key areas which need to be addressed
during the planning stage.
Documentation
• The organisation should document, and maintain up-
to-date sufficient documentation on its OH&S
management system.

Auditing
Scheduling
• An annual plan should be prepared for carrying out
internal safety audits.
Management Support
• To be of value, senior management should be fully
committed to the concept of auditing and its effective
implementation within the organisation.
Audits
• Audits provide a comprehensive and formal
assessment of the organisation’s compliance with
OH&S procedures and practices.
• The end result of an audit should include a detailed
written assessment of OH&S procedures, the levels
of compliance with procedures and practices and
should where necessary identify corrective actions.
Auditors
• One or more persons may undertake audits. A team
approach may widen the involvement and improve
co-operation. They should be independent of the
part of the organisation or the activity that is to be
audited.
