OHSAS 18000

OHSAS stands for occupational health and safety standard. OHSAS 18000 is a series of two standards, OHSA 18001 and OHSAS 18002, which provide requirements and guidelines, respectively, for implementing a safety and health management standard. Based on the British Standard BS 8800, OHSAS 18000 was developed by a group of standard bodies, certification bodies, registrars, and consultants and was first published in 1999. It is not an ISO standard. Although the OHSAS 18000 standards were not developed through the ISO, or using the ISO consensus process, they have gained wide acceptance. In 2002, amendments were made to both standards to consider user demands and better align them with ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
