OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (ISO 18000)

Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), designed to create a safer workplace, is an area where standards development is just beginning. Currently, there is no international standard, with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) deciding against developing one in 1996. In Thailand, There is Occupational Health and Safety Act Law enforced to do ISO 18000.

OHSMS standards development is occurring at the national level, however. The British Standards Institution (BSI), which previously developed precursors to ISO 9000 and ISO 14000, has released BS 8800 and OHSAS 18001.

Debate over developing an international OHSMS standard continues, and ISO may revisit the matter in the future.
