OHSAS 18001 Assesment Process
A good start will be to carry out an internal audit on all areas that will need to be part of an OHSAS audit by identifying hazards and carrying out risk assessments.
ACS Registrars have UKAS certification so before you start contact us to find out more.
You will need support from the entire management team to implement processes across all areas of the organisation.
Some things you will need to consider:
- Planning and establishing a framework
- Establishing roles and responsibilities
- Processes for hazard identification and risk assessments
- Reporting and monitoring
- Documentation
- Emergency procedures
- Measure and constantly improve processes
- Performance reviews
- Understanding legal obligations
- Staff training requirements
- Establish OHSAS checklist
OHSAS 18001 Regular Auditing Procedure
Regular audits will be carried out to check processes are being followed and documentation is kept up to date.
During the audit you will be assessed on:
- Documentation control
- Records being kept
- Staff and management conformance to the system
- Implementation of operational controls
- How the system is working in each area of the organisation
- Staff training necessary to meet the requirements
The audit can be undertaken by a number of Certification bodies, however it is important to note that not all auditing organisations are UKAS accredited. If you do not use a UKAS accredited auditor your certification could end up being worthless.
