Do you want it to be UKAS acredited

If so contact BSI

Or any of the other accredited certification bodies - not just BSI. There is also LRQA for example who have a great deal of experience in a number of business sectors I believe.

Vinod,

There is some excellent IOSH Guidance that is useful, although not specific to OHSAS 18001. Its title is
"Systems in focus: Guidance on occupational safety and health management systems" Published: May 2011 (revised); This guide aims to support organisations wanting to introduce occupational safety and health management systems.

Before looking at the benefits, ask yourselves why you would want to be certified in the first place.

That will then give you the benefits of being certified.
