    OHSAS 18001

    Implementation
    Checklist

    Many companies wonder where to begin when implementing OHSAS 18001


    registration. This checklist can help you start down the right path.
    BUY THE STANDARD

    You will need a copy of OHSAS 18001. Please visit http://infostore.saiglobal.com/ or contact our Publishing division at
    (888) 454-2688 or by email at [email protected].

    RESEARCH

    Gaining an understanding of how other organizations have implemented and benefited from OHSAS 18001 is
    necessary to support and motivate your decision to register.

    DECISION TIME

    Top Management must be committed in their support of your implementation of OHSAS 18001 within the
    organization.

    PERFORM A GAP ASSESSMENT

    You must know the status of your current systems versus OHSAS 18001 requirements in order to plan and accomplish
    the implementation of a management in the most efficient manner possible.

    OHS TRAINING

    You may decide that self-studying the standard is not enough. Consider one of the OHSAS 18001 courses available at
    http://www.saiglobal.com/training/assurance/ohsas-18001/ .

    CONSULTANT

    You may also decide to bring in a business management consultant to help with your implementation.
    Your local SAI Global office may be able to provide a selection of qualified individuals.

    OHS STRATEGY

    Before planning and implementing your OHS, decide on its structure: will it cover one or multiple sites?
    Will it be managed centrally or independently? Will it integrate with other existing management systems?

    SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING

    Create the plan to ensure you put controls in place to meet all the requirements of the standard, such as training,
    procedures or work instructions, maintenance, communications, audits and management reviews.

    SELECT A REGISTRAR

    Apply to a registrar and complete a facility questionnaire.

    IMPLEMENTATION

    Complete the development of policies and procedures, launch an awareness campaign and begin implementation of
    new practices. Talk to your SAI Global auditor!

    CONDUCT THE FIRST FULL CYCLE OF INTERNAL AUDITS AND MANAGEMENT REVIEW
    An internal audit and management review are part of your OHS and are needed in order to demonstrate full
    implementation of your OHS. Note that you will need to audit them separately after they have been held.

    DOCUMENT REVIEW AND PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT

    We will review your documented procedures to assess implementation progression. You will receive a report identifying
    areas of concern and will schedule a registration audit date.

    REVIEW SAI GLOBAL FINDINGS

    Review areas of concerns identified and implement any improvements you may identify to build a robust OHS
    program.

    COMPLETE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF YOUR OHS

    You should aim to have your OHS fully implemented for a minimum of three months so that sufficient information is
    available for an auditor to assess.

    CONDUCT SECOND FULL CYCLE OF INTERNAL AUDITS AND MANAGAMENT REVIEW

    A second round of internal audits will confirm that your OHS is fully implemented and functioning to meet customer
    expectations. These audits will also confirm readiness for the registration assessment. Corrective actions resulting from
    previously-identified nonconformities should be verified if corrected and closed.

    REGISTRATION AUDIT

    All the requirements of OHSAS 18001 will be covered. In addition, SAI Global will provide an audit plan to guide you
    through the opening meeting, site tour, interviews, observations, records review, debriefings and closing meetings; we
    will also issue a final report.

    OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATE

    SAI Global will conduct an internal independent review of your registration and issue your certificate after audit
    nonconformances, if any, have been resolved.

    CELEBRATION

    Youve earned your registration! Celebrate and promote your success.

    MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE YOUR OHS

    Maintain the practices defined by your OHS management system and look for improvement opportunities.

    SURVEILLANCE AUDITS

    Similar to the registration audit, except it covers either approximately one-quarter of your OHS every 6 months or half
    of your OHS every year, concentrating on how well you are maintaining your OHS.

    RE-REGISTRATION AUDIT

    Similar to registration and surveillance audits, this focuses on how well you are maintaining your entire OHS.

    NEW OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATE

    Similar to the registration audit, except it covers either approximately one-quarter of your OHS every 6 months or half
    of your OHS every year, concentrating on how well you are maintaining your OHS.
