I would be grateful if anyone could give advice on any available publications/papers on the integration of OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.

I have read the IOSH publication (available on this site) but would welcome further information.

Stuart,

I could send you lots of brochures on each Standard individually or on Integrated Management Systems, but I haven't got one that does a direct comparison between the two mentioned, although there is a clause comparison at the end of OHSAS 18001:1999 itself in Annex A. This is of limited use now that ISO9001:2000 becomes "mandatory" in terms of 3rd party Registration in December this year, as it still refers to the 1994 version.

I'm not aware of any articles that might help. Sorry.

You can access the documents from the BSI website-details below. It does not provide guidance on integration,but gives the corresponding clauses.


Correspondence between OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001:1996 and ISO 9001:2000

Correspondence between the clauses of the OHSAS documents and
the clauses of the ILO-OSH Guidelines

Sean and Jay.

Thank you for your responses.

I shall take a look at the comparisson details supplied. I t would be good if someone with expertise on this subject could produce an 'intergration' document as a guide to this process, as this is where the system seems to slip a little!!

You do need to think out of the box a little with this. If you are not careful you simply end up with 2 similar systems but not real integration. This is the problem you will encounter with almost every claimed integration.

E-mail me and we can arrange a phone conversation. I am afraid though that the accreditation bodies have some way to go to catch up as they do still try to follow a basic single system stance with links to each other

Rob is right, you need to think a little broader than the requirements of the two standards. Do you want to 'combine' your systems or 'integrate' them into your overall business strategy and planning process?

If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to e-mail me

Regards

Andy

If you are interested in integrated management systems, have you had a look at the IOSH publication ‘Systems in focus’?

There is a whole chapter on this and if you are an IOSH member, you can obtain a free hard copy.

Alternatively you can download a free copy of this document from http://www.iosh.co.uk/in...echnical.resources&cid=1 on this webb-site.
