PURPOSE

• The purpose of an OHSMS is to enable an
  organization to improve its occupational health
  and safety performance.
• An OHSMS provides a framework for developing and
  implementing improvements in occupational health
  and safety.

3
Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series
(OHSAS) 18000 provides

• Specifications for OHSMS OHSAS 18001,
• and
• Guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001
  OHSAS 18002

4
PLAN DO CHECK - ACT

• OHSMS follows the Plan Do Check Act Cycle
  with a concurrent emphasis on continuous
  improvement.

5
Seamless Integration

• This model fits in neatly with the structure of
  other management systems such as
• ISO 14001 (Environment), and
• ISO 9001 (Business/Quality),
• and therefore can be integrated seamlessly.

6
Standards

• In addition to OHSAS 18000 series, there are
  other international and national standards and
  guidelines, such as
• ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005,
• ILO-OSH 2001,
• CAN/CSA Z1000-06

7
Canadian Standard

• CAN/CSA-Z1000, OHSMS standard was developed with
  equal representation from Business, Labour and
  Regulators from across Canada, and is consistent
  with ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ANSI Z10, and
  ILO-OSH 2001.

8
Continuous Progression

• An OHSMS is a continuous progression of
  compliance, improvement and prevention.
• It is also an objective basis for verifying a
  companys claims about its OHS performance.

9
The Key to Success

• The key to a successful OHSMS is,
• having documented procedures that are
  implemented and maintained in daily business
  operations, and
• Including appropriate monitoring and review to
  ensure effective functioning and to identify and
  implement corrective measures.

10
CCOHS OHSMS

  system that can be used by any organization
