OHSAS 18001 ...
... is an international standard that is developed by the OHSAS project Group, an association that includes government agencies, certification bodies, national standards, industry associations, and consultants. The British Standards Institution (BSI) currently provides the Secretariat of the OHSAS Project Group.
The aim of OHSAS 18001 is to assist organizations in managing and controlling their health and safety risks and improving their OH&S performance. In response to customer demand for an occupational health and safety management system that can be assessed objectively, certified credibly, and recognized internationally, the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) standards are developed for use by all types of organizations and industries.
MS 1722:2005 ...
... is a Malaysian Standards that provides requirements on Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) and basis for the development of sustainable OSH culture in an organisation. It entails a more humanistic approach towards OSH management as compared to OHSAS 18001 where it, on the other hand, seems to be presenting itself as a management tool used towards an effective and efficient management of OSH risks.
Adapted from the ILO-OSH MS 2001, this Malaysian guidelines on OSH was a result of an urgent need for a local MS that represents the nation’s commitment towards safety and health enhancement efforts at the workplace.
The aim of this standard is to establish compliance with legislations and protecting employees from hazards and the elimination of work-related injuries, disabilities, ill health, diseases, near misses and fatalities. This system also leads to overall value added to the economy and social well-being of market relevant Malaysian Standards and provide to the development of global market.
Both standards are equally practical and applicable, one is international standard and the other is Malaysian standard but the aim is to ensure health and safety is managed effectively. By controlling the OH&S risks that are consistent with their OH&S policy and objectives, organizations can achieve and demonstrate sound health and safety performance and stewardship.
The information provided here is excellent and given me an idea about OHSAS 18001 documents for and how it helped in developing occupational health and safety management system in any organizations.
