How to become certified to OHSAS 18001
Your route to better occupational health and safety
The experts at TÜV Rheinland are on hand with a wealth of expertise and tactful advice to support you through the implementation of your own, individual occupational health and safety management system. There are six stages.
1. Pre-audit (optional)
The auditors perform a preliminary audit of your processes, determining to what extent the processes already fulfill the specification requirements.
2. Document review
The audit team checks whether or not your occupational health and safety documentation meets the requirements of OHSAS 18001.
3. Certification audit
You demonstrate how your occupational health and safety management system is implemented in practice. Our auditors assess its effectiveness.
4. Issue of certificate
If all the criteria have been met, your company will be awarded the certificate, showing that your occupational safety and health management system is effective and conforms with the specification requirements.
5. Surveillance audits
Our annual surveillance audits help you continuously optimize your processes.
6. Certification renewal
After three years you will undergo a repeat audit for certification renewal. This ensures the continuance of your improvement process and documents the safety of your business for your partners and customers for the long term.
