we are trying building new managements system for the QC 9001 and OHSAS 18001 and to the EMS 14001 in the automobile large company.

thanks in advance, i appreciate it

good day

Have you done a search online?

A whole five minutes on the topic of a safety management system? Wow. Talk about dedication. :rolleyes:

Out of curiousity...what is your company's safety record like? Bad trends? Good trends? How many medical aids? How many lost times? Maybe you should show those numbers and say that a system may help to formalize the processes to get the numbers under control.

((i need it to be direct to the point))This DNV flyer (http://www.dnv.com/binaries/Flyer_OHSAS%2018001_Occupational%20Heath%20Safety%20Management%20Systems_tcm4-192844.pdf)attempts to convey the message you are looking for. Maybe you can use some of the text here to create a short presentation, but like Roxane said, the best way is to use recent safety accident and incident data AT YOUR WORKPLACE and drive the message that an OH&SMS would have assisted in PREVENTING such occurrences. If you can tie up the COST OF NON-SAFETY, even better...

...to convince the top management of my company why we should adopt OHSAS 18001 and implement it.

Sidney's flyer has several good selling points.

What are some other good, brief arguements Husain might use?

Does having OHSAS 18001 reduce insurance costs/premiums or increase cash-back programmes? I know that we have something here that if our safety record is below a certain level, we get money back. Vulcan mind-dump occurring right now and I can't remember the specifics of that system.

Does having OHSAS 18001 reduce insurance costs/premiums or increase cash-back programmes? We had a discussion along these lines in a thread concerning "Does ISO 14001 reduce insurance premiums?" (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=72597)Actually a couple of people responded positively about the experience they had with their insurers agreeing to reduce premiums.

The line of thought is the same for OHSAS 18001. With a well implemented OH&SMS, accident and incident rates should decline, which means that you are better managing occupational health & safety risks. Thus, if your operation represents a lesser risk to the insurer, it only makes sense that you pay less for your coverage. On the other hand, many insurers will require demonstrable factual data BEFORE agreeing to reduced premiums. After all, we all know that you can have management systems that comply (and are even certified) to a Standard and Specification, but do not deliver on results.

OHSAS 5 minutes presentation Does anyone per chance have anything (like a .ppt Powerpoint or other presentation) you can share here?

There are a number of them in this google search (http://www.google.com.my/search?q=ohsas+18001%2Bintroduction+filetype%3Appt&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a).

If you need to convince them then they would in fact not be truly committed to the the process....I'll refer you to pieces of clause 4.4.1 of OHSAS 18001:2007...

4.4.1 Resources, roles, responsibility, accountability and authority

Top management shall take ultimate responsibility for OH&S and the OH&S management system..............

Top management shall demonstrate its commitment by:

a) ensuring the availability of resources essential to establish, implement, maintain and improve the OH&S management system;.........

NOTE 1 Resources include human resources and specialized skills, organizational infrastructure, technology and financial resources.

.......All those with management responsibility shall demonstrate their commitment to the continual improvement of OH&S performance.....

What you need is more than 5 minutes. Explaining the management of risk, cost avoidance, and their relationship to OHS improvement as a systemized process can take more than 5 minutes. If your "leaders" need to be convinced then they probably won't have a real committment to begin with.

Whatever you give them, give it to them from the aspect of an OHSMS being a investment and the improvement of OHS performance as a ROI..give them some numbers and forget the 18001 specific stuff because you'll lose their interest.

I attended a 5-minute OHSAS 18001 presentations to the top management (a couple of months ago), and it is really quite impressive…

...they just go directly to 2 main points: they justify the objective of having OHSAS 18001 by giving factual figure express in cost & profit; and then they just emphasize the requirement of OHSAS 18001 from the top management… :cool:

The damage to the organizations reputation, of having reporters after their tail, the need to appear in person at the courts and possible jail sentences (depends on individual country's law) would be the biggest deterrent.

You need to tell them just these within 5 minutes.

In addition to excellant replies earlier, at the end of those 5 minutes, I would ask for an hour presentation at some other time to appraise them more about OHSAS 18001. :)
