The second edition of OHSAS 18001 was released and became effective as of July 2, 2007. In addition to providing clarification to the original edition published in April 1999, the new revision now includes many new requirements as well as alignment and compatibility with other popular international standards, such as ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management. This two hour webinar will take you through operational examples of how changes to the requirements may be addressed. It will provide a forum to discuss the approach and operational issues related to transition and the realization of these changes. Whether you are maintaining an existing management system or currently implementing one, this webinar offers you a first look at the new requirements and implications of changes that are aimed to improving organizational OHS performance.
