4. iNTRODUCTION
OHSAS 18001, Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, (officially BS OHSAS 18001) is an internationally applied British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems.
ISO 14001 is an Environmental Management System (EMS) which provides a system for measuring and improving an organization’s environmental impact.

5. OHSAS ORIGINS
Organizations worldwide recognize the need to control and improve health and safety performance and do so with occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). 
Recognizing this deficit, an international collaboration called the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) Project Group was formed to create a single unified approach.
The Group comprised representatives from national standards bodies, academic bodies, accreditation bodies, certification bodies and occupational safety and health institutions,with the UK’s national standards body, BSI Group, providing the secretariat.

6. OHSAS DEVELOPMENT
Drawing on the best of existing standards and schemes, the OHSAS Project Group published the OHSAS Series in The Series consisted of two specifications: provided requirements for an OHS management system and gave implementation guidelines. As of 2005, around 16,000 organizations in more than 80 countries were using the OHSAS specification. By 2009 more than 54,000 certificates had been issued in 116 countries to OHSAS or equivalent OHSMS standards.

7. How to establish an OHSAS 18001 Occupation health and safety management system?
