What is the OHSAS18000 certification? OHSAS18000 occupational safety and health series of standards by the British Standards Institution (BSI), Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and other 13 organizations designed to help the organization to control its occupational safety and health risks and improve their occupational safety and health performance. Second, the background and the development trend of occupational safety and health in the late 1980s in the international rise of modern safety production management, ISO9000 and ISO14000 and so it is called management approach as the post-industrial era, one of the main causes is the requirements of their own development. With the development and expansion of enterprises, companies must adopt a more modern management model, all the scientific production and business activities, including quality management, occupational health and safety management, including management, standardization and legalization. Some large enterprises famous internationally while strengthening quality management work, has established a relatively complete self-discipline and occupational health and safety management system, to better enhance their own social image and control and significantly reduce occupational damage to the losses. Another important reason for the occupational health and safety management system produced is accelerated international integration process caused, since the production process is closely related to occupational health and safety issues are increasingly subject to the concern and attention of the international community, related legislation more rigorous, relevant economic policies and measures are also continuing to adopt and improve. In the 1980s, some developed countries take the lead in research and implementation of occupational health and safety management system activities, including, in 1996 Britain enacted the BS8800 "Occupational Health and Safety Management System Guide," then, some organizations the United States, Australia, Japan, Norway also developed the relevant guidance documents, in 1999 the British Standards Institution, DNV and other 13 organizations Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) standard, namely OHSAS18001 "Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Specification", OHSAS18002 "Occupational Health Safety Management Systems --OHSAS18001 Implementation Guide ", although the International Standards Organization (ISO) decided not to promulgate such standards, many countries and international organizations to continue to carry out related research and practice, and making after ISO9000, ISO14000 another standards of international concern.
