Continual improvement (e.g. reduce near miss rates from 2 per month to 1 by end of 2015) Review progress against plans at regular intervals

14 CERTIFICATION PROCESS Application Main Assessment Initial Assessment Surveillance Certification Proposal Gap Analysis

15 OHSAS CERTIFICATION STAGE 1 STAGE 1 ASSESSMENT Understand the nature of the beast - (complexity, scope) Confirm readiness of the organisation (implementation status) Records availability Review organisation risk assessment methodology for robustness Review the evidence portfolio Outline plan for Stage 2 assessment

16 OHSAS CERTIFICATION STAGE 2 STAGE 2 ASSESSMENT Proving compliance through sampling Certification decision Delivering goals your company invest in

17 SUCCESS YEAR ON YEAR Management Review 3rd Party Assessment Policy / Strategy Measurement Explicit Commitments Emergency Preparedness / Response A Journey of Continual Health & Safety Improvement Objectives & Targets Operational Control Management Involvement / Employee Participation Communication Disciplined Processes

18 EPIC FAILS Believing safety inspections are system audits Audit programme is not linked to risk Other requirements are not addressed No link between H&S objectives and risk assessment Organisation has tried to risk assess everything Performance monitoring is focussed on accidents Safety is left to the Health and Safety Manager
