Description

An essential guide to OHSAS 18001 using real-world scenarios

In this introduction to OHSAS 18001, Sadiq takes the complex, and often impenetrable, concepts that surround health and safety and presents them with absolute precision and clarity. Using a wide variety of fictional ‘real world’ scenarios, the author discusses the hazards that might be present in a workplace, how to assess risk, how to manage OHSAS 18001 implementation and how to communicate its implementation through all levels of management.


A sound understanding of OHSAS 18001

OHSAS 18001: Step by Step gives the reader a sound understanding of OHSAS 18001, and can also be used as a step-by-step instruction manual for anyone tasked with implementing operational health and safety standards in the workplace.

  • A comprehensive explanation of OHSAS 18001 and its implications.
  • An understanding of how OHSAS 18001 can be implemented through the PDCI (Plan-Do-Check-Improve) management principle.
  • An understanding of the law; the legislative and contractual OH&S requirements to which an organisation subscribes.
  • An explanation of how OH&S objectives can be determined and established, and how to apportion responsibility and accountability throughout the organisation.
  • Clear understanding of OH&S accountability and the need for diligent record-keeping.
  • Guidance for setting up a training, competence and awareness regime.
