    OHSAS 18001:2007

    What you need to know

    Health and Safety questions cover a wide range of issues and have
    implications for everyone in the workplace. Effectively managing these
    issues means taking account not only of legal requirements, but also the
    well-being of your staff and sub-contractors in the working environment.

    The new version of OHSAS 18001 has been updated to reflect developments in
    certification, and particularly to improve its compatibility with ISO 14001: 2004
    and ISO 9001:2000. Below is a brief overview of the changes.
    OHSAS 18001 now refers to itself as a standard, not a specification, or
    document, as in the earlier edition.

    Many of the changes relate to changes in terminology:

    • New definitions have been added, and existing definitions revised


    • The term "tolerable risk" has been replaced by the term "acceptable risk"
    • The term "accident" is no longer referenced, and has been included in
    the term "incident"

    In terms of new requirements:

    • A new requirement has been introduced for the consideration of the


    hierarchy of controls as part of OH&S planning
    • new clause on the "Evaluation of compliance" has been introduced
    • New requirements have been introduced for worker participation
    • New requirements have been introduced for the investigation of
    incidents
    A summary of the eight main points is overleaf.
