New version of OHSAS 18001

[Sidney Vianna]

I like the idea of BSi's Associate Consultant Programme, with "endorsed" consultants being referred by BSi.

Here's the link to the UK site https://www.bsi-uk.com/ACP/index.xalter

I see that I used the word endorsed, incorrectly. Consultants are recommended, but not endorsed.

Yeah,we can't endorse or promise anything. Kinda like what I've done for folks here. No promises,just a name.

Here's another BSI presentation on the subject of implementing OHSAS 18001. It lasts about 30 minutes but is one of their better efforts.

I particularly like the bit which asks the question "How do you get management commitment?"

The answer "Well, it's not easy......."

I just submitted my comments on the Draft to our people in the UK. The timeline looks like mid 2008 for the FD.

I just recently attended an OHSA 18001:2007 implementation course... and it's quite interesting... specifically the information this consultant provided regarding management of health & safety matrix... very useful!

I also remember that the Old OHSAS 18001 standard made references to injury to property whilst the present version strictly relates to personnel. We planning to go for OHSAS in the first quarter of 2009 and so might be able to give more information, and receive some back also.
