I'm currently looking at implementing OHSAS 18001 into our workplace and am starting on writing the procedures. Although we obviously have identify our hazards and take the necessary actions, I am having some difficulty in putting it onto words to meet the requirements of the standard. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks

Steve

I suggest you do a gap analysis first to see what you have and what you need against the standard

You are risking the moderators keyboard posting this here as this is a technical H&S issue and thus, we are informed must be public.

Email me and we can perhaps arrange a chat about this. Procedure writing is not about identifying hazards.

I agree either do a Gap Analysis or have one done

Dont drown writing procedures there is always the Process Approach see ISO9001:2000 - Much quicker easier to establish the "System" and easier to host if youve gone down the Process Map route with detail behind

Procedure Definition:
specified way to carry out an activity or a process
NOTE Procedures can be documented or not.

If you want I can show you an example and I have some ppts

Email me if interested

Regards
David
