Occupational health and safety are at the forefront of today's social concerns. For businesses seeking to improve on their "safety performance" record, progress hinges on addressing organizational factors in addition to the technical and behavioural factors.

 

The last few years have seen the void left by the lack of international standards filled by numerous new OH&S management system certification benchmarks, the most widely-recognized being led by OHSAS 18001 and ILO-OSH 2001.

Outline

AFNOR Certification offers a joint certification solution on Occupational Health & Safety management working to standard OHSAS 18001: and standard ILO-OSH 2001. This approach ultimately rewards you with dual certification.

 

OH&S management system certification is phased in through a series of steps:

 
  • Audit step 1: analysis on the key OH&S management system components (risk analysis, regulatory intelligence, internal audit, management review, definition and design of the audit schedule...),
  • Audit step 2: auditing rollout of the OH&S management system (interviews,..),
  • Decision to award certification taken by qualified AFNOR Certification Experts (based on the audit report),
  • Certificate issued,
  • 12-month routine surveillance audit: sustainability of the OH&S management system,
  • At three years on: certificate renewal (contract).

 

The benefits

OH&S management system certification provides an all-round response to regulatory, social and economic challenges, enabling organizations to:

 
  • minimize workplace injuries,
  • improve the company's productivity, and cut costs by gaining full control of staff safety-related risks,
  • minimize the risks of potential accident-related litigation,
  • integrate OH&S prevention measures up and down the company, engaging endorsement for the approach from both staff and senior executives,
  • integrate labour groups into the approach.

 

Why Afnor Certification is the right choice

  • We have staked out a leadership position on the French safety management systems market,
  • We were the first certification body in France to deliver OH&S management system certification, to OHSAS 18001 in 2000 and to ILO-OSH in 2005. Backed by this key experience, we are the only certification body to offer dual OHSAS-ILO OSH certification. AFNOR Certification auditors may well be qualified specifically for these benchmark frameworks, but more than that, they are specialists in your business lines and core activities, and therefore fully in tune with your expectations.

 

Focus sur le référentiel OHSAS 18001

Depuis le 1er juillet 2009, l’OHSAS 18001:2007 est la seule version du référentiel de management en vigueur.Tous les certificats délivrés doivent donc l'être selon l'OHSAS 18001 :2007.

Parmi les évolutions majeures de cette nouvelle version publiée en 2007 par le BSI (British Standard Institute), une plus grande place est donnée à la « santé » au travail, et de nouvelles exigences introduisent la participation et la consultation des collaborateurs.

La prise en compte et l’écoute du personnel sont ainsi renforcées dans plusieurs processus comme l’analyse des risques ou les enquêtes en cas d’incidents.

 

AFNOR Certification propose un dispositif de certification conjoint en matière de management de Sécurité et de la Santé au Travail au travers de la certification selon l'OHSAS 18001 : 2007 et l'ILO-OSH 2001 et vous accompagne dans le choix du référentiel selon vos orientations stratégiques.
