Moreover, it is a systematic and explicit approach defining the activities by which safety management is undertaken by an organisation in order to achieve acceptable or tolerable safety

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this training session, participants will be able to understand:

  • What an OHSMS is and what are benefits of system
  • Purpose and structure of the OHSAS 18001:2007 standard
  • The requirements of the OHSAS 18001:2007 standard
  • Hazard identification, risk assessment, and determination of controls
  • What an audit is and the benefits of an audit
  • How to plan, conduct, report, and follow up an audit
  • Participants will be able to: help organizations create safer work environments by reducing injuries and injury-related
  • Providing measurable systems that can verify OHS performance
  •  
Course Contents:

There are five steps to an effective OHSMS, and these steps form a continual cycle of improvement as shown below. Consultation is a key element of each step.

  1. Policy

The policy is a general plan of intent which guides or influences future decisions. It is the basis upon which measurable objectives and targets and the OHSMS is developed.

  1. Planning

Plan how to deliver the OHS policy, objectives and targets to ensure hazards arising from work activities are identified so that risks can be assessed and then controlled.

  1. Implementation

Implement the plan by developing the capabilities and support mechanisms necessary to achieve the OHS policy, objectives and targets.

  1. Measurement and evaluation

Measure, monitor and evaluate OHS performance, to determine the effectiveness of risk management, and if necessary take preventative and corrective action. Undertake audit follow-up activities to undertake audit follow-up activities

  1. Review and improvement

Contribute to the development and improvement of their organization’s occupational Health & Safety management system and review and continually improve the OHSMS, with the objective of improving OHS performance.
