OHSAS 18001
OHSAS 18001 is a management system focusing on occupational health & safety of the employees of the organisation based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach.
An effective health & safety management system provide benefits to the organisation as well as its customers and give a competitive advantage by:
- Management’s commitment to maintain an effective health and safety policy & system
- Minimising the risks of production delays
- Providing an overall safe environment to do business
Transition Migration to ISO 45001
ISO 45001 will replace OHSAS 18001:2007. Organisations already certified to OHSAS 18001 will have three years to comply with the new ISO 45001 standard requirements. The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) has developed the migration requirements to help certified organisations, certification bodies, accreditation bodies and other interested parties.
Migrating from OHSAS 18001 to the new International Standard ISO 45001 may have its challenges but with careful planning, checking & commitment, organisations, their employees & all stakeholders will enjoy the benefits of improved health & safety management systems.

The internationally reputed company is a major construction, mining and power solutions provider with more than 25 locations in India. Their major challenge was working with multiple standards and legal requirements of different stakeholders.
We started with the development of an inhouse standard and guideline which was implemented across the locations.
We customized our scored assessment protocol ‘Protosafe’ as per their requirements and developed a three year plan. The safety performance scorecard provided the required guidelines to the management for improvement. Our recommendations facilitated the actions.
A definite positive trend of improvements observed in the subsequent years.
