 What is an OHSMS?

An occupational health and safety management system,

or OHSMS, is the set of rules, policies, processes, plans
and practices that an organization uses to protect
people’s health and safety in the workplace.

Every organization’s OHSMS is unique. It must take the

organization’s legal framework, relevant hazards, and
processes into account. However, certain principles and
elements are common to all successful health and
safety systems.

49
 ISO 45001.2
The standard is being
developed by a committee
of occupational health and
safety experts, and will
follow other generic
management system
approaches such as ISO
14001 and ISO 9001. It will
take into account other When will it be available???
International Standards such
as OHSAS 18001, the ILO’s
ILO-OSH Guidelines,
various national standards
and the ILO’s international
labor standards and
conventions

 What is an ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is an international standard that stipulates

requirements for an occupational health and safety
management system.

ISO 45001 represents best practices for an OHSMS. It

helps organizations establish, implement and maintain
effective health and safety systems, without missing any
important elements.

51
Transition from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001

ISO SO 45001:2018 was published in March 2018. It is

based on OHSAS 18001 and supersedes it.

All organizations currently certified to OHSAS 18001 are

required to transition to ISO 45001 over a three-year
period, ending in 2021.

52
 Differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001

The main differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001 are as follows.

High Level Structure (HLS)

The new ISO 45001 standard implements a high-level structure that is shared
with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015.
This simplifies the implementation and integration of multiple standards in an
organization.

The role of the Management Representative

Under OHSAS 18001, the operation of the OHSMS could be delegated by
senior management to a single management representative.
Under ISO 45001, this is discouraged. Having one person controlling a health
and safety system is seen as risky. Spreading responsibility to a number of
employees is more conducive to continuous improvement.
More importantly, top management can no longer distance themselves from
the operation of the occupational health and safety system.
53
 Differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001

Enhanced role of top management

Senior management are expected to take a stronger leadership role.
They’re expected to conduct frequent reviews of the system, participate in
safety audits and encourage and reward employees who raise safety issues.

Encourage a health and safety culture

Health and safety should be an integral part of “business as usual.”
All employees must be aware of the objectives and advantages of a safe,
efficient workplace, and be encouraged to contribute to and participate in
workplace safety initiatives.
For example, this means:
•integrating the organization’s health and safety vision into recruitment
•involving employees on an end-to-end basis
•creating organizational transparency for all investigations, changes, and new
initiatives.

54
 Differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001

Risks, hazards, and opportunities

OHSAS 18001 focused on controlling hazards. In line with the general direction of
new ISO standards, ISO 45001 encourages a “risk- based thinking” approach
The goal is to identify, evaluate, and remedy potential risks before they
materialize.

The context of the organization and any external influences on it should be

considered. All potential risks, hazards, and opportunities should be documented,
assessed, and addressed. This process must be integrated into a broader
continuous improvement cycle.

In short, an organization should go beyond simple pinch points and slip hazards.
It should adopt a more holistic understanding of health and safety risks.

55
 Differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001

A focus on improved planning

As part of risk-based thinking, more importance is given to

planning and the setting of objectives.

Organizational goals should be linked to health and safety

objectives. Priorities should be identified. Responsibilities for
achieving goals must be assigned, along with relevant KPIs
and timelines. And all of these steps must be properly
documented.

56
 Differences between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001

A broader definition of health

People tend to think of workplace health and safety as relating to accidents and
resulting physical injuries.

ISO 45001 defines health more broadly, to include aspects such as employee
wellbeing, stress, fatigue, and mental health.

Terminology updates in ISO 45001

With the wider focus of ISO 45001:2018, new definitions of terms such as “worker”,
“workplace” and “documented information” are introduced. Of the 37 terms and
definitions in ISO 45001:2018, only three are identical to those used in OHSAS
18001.

selecting the provided measures such as substitution, isolation, engineering
control, administration and PPE.
2. Additional for specific measures of control if necessary.
3. Select any applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment.
4. The probability of an occurrence defined the value is based on the likelihood of
an event occurring. Values indicated in the table below provides 5 probabilities of
event can be occurred.
The consequence or severity of a hazard can be divided into five categories. Severity
is based upon an increasing level of consequence to an individual’s health, the
environment, or to property. The table below indicates consequence of event that
may occurred:
Risk evaluation can be determined by combination of likelihood (L) and consequence (C).
Calculation of risk can be formulated as L X C = relative risk. Justification of risk and prioritization
of control can be determined as refer to diagram below:
