OHSAS 18001 is not an ISO standard yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now it is! March 2018

Re: BS OHSAS 18001 is not an ISO standard...!

Mercis. The information package was made available to Covers over 2 months ago in this post.

As for the wait and see, once again, according to my sources, the decision has been made. We only have to wait and see for the final product now and, probably in a couple of years, the title of the thread will have to be changed to OHSAS 18001 is not now an ISO standard...!

Re: BS OHSAS 18001 is not an ISO standard...!

Hello !

Sidney, sorry I can read ILO-OSH, BS OHSAS 18001, ANSI/AIHA Z10, etc... but not "ISO OHS 18001". Today BS OHSAS 18001 is not yet an ISO standard. Despite your assertion there is no ISO information regarding an ISO OSHMS standard creation project. Many years ago I still read many times "ISO OSH 18001" was existing but not.

Wait and see is the good way. Bye.

From this ISO communiqu? document, it seems to me is a done deal.

l) NWIP Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems ? Requirements
A NWIP on Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Requirements proposed by BSI (UK) was approved by the ISO member bodies in June 2013. The TMB approved the establishment of a new project committee on Occupational health and safety management systems ? requirements, and allocated the secretariat to BSI (UK), via TMB Resolution 71/2013.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

ISO gives thumbs up to occupational health and safety work.

Sidney,

What are the chances (if any) that the updated OH&S standard will be coordinated with the upcoming release of ISO 9001:2015, and is there any indication yet that it (like ISO 9001) will be revised in accordance with the new Annex SL high level structure?

Brian

Brian, even though I am not involved with the ISO PC283, I have no doubt that the ISO OHSMS standard will follow the "mandatory" High Level Structure and a lot of the work being done for the ISO 14001 revision could be used for the upcoming standard on occupational health & safety management systems.

I also believe that, in accordance with ISO standard development procedures, this item could be fast tracked.

Question is: what will be the number for the standard? ISO 18001 is already taken....

According to recent news, the ISO Standard on Occupational Health & Safety Management will be numbered ISO 45001.

Glad to hear this...I think it is long overdue. Also happy to hear they will adapt from OHSAS 18001, rather than starting from scratch...thanks for informing us.

The new standard will be named "ISO 45001:2016". The draft standard is due for release in March 2014.

It's a shame they don't name it 18001....
