2. International Organization for
Standardization
• The International
Organization for
Standardization known as
ISO, is an international
standard-setting body
composed of
representatives from
various national standards
organizations.
3. About ISO
• Founded on 23 February 1947
• The organization promotes worldwide
proprietary, industrial and commercial standards.
• It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and
as of 2013 works in 164 countries.
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are ISO's known
standards. ISO 9000 - implement quality
management. ISO 14000 - implement
environmental management
4. What is OHSAS 18001 ?
• Occupational Health and Safety Assessment
Series for Management Systems—
Requirements (officially BS OHSAS 18001) is
an internationally applied British Standard for
occupational health and Safety management
systems.
• It exists to help all kinds of organizations put
in place demonstrably sound occupational
health and safety performance
5. What is OHSAS 18001?
Internationally recognized model for Occupational
Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) for
management systems
Enable organizations to control their OH&S risks
and improve their performance
Specification is intended to address occupational
health and safety rather than product and
services safety
6. Why does OHSAS 18001 needed ?
• Organizations worldwide recognize the need to
control and improve health and safety
performance and do so with occupational health
and safety management systems (OHSMS).
Before 1999 lots of national standards and
proprietary certification schemes to choose from.
This caused confusion and fragmentation in the
market and undermined the credibility of
individual schemes.
7. Why Was OHSAS Developed ?
• In response to urgent customer demand for a
recognizable occupational health and safety
management system standard
• Need for health and safety management
system that could be audited and certified
• It is not a formal standard, an official British
Standard, nor is it an official International
Standard
Not mandatory - voluntary basis
8. How was OHSAS 18001 Developed?
• The Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS)
Project Group comprised representatives from national standards
bodies, academic bodies, accreditation bodies, certification bodies
and occupational safety and health institutions, with the UK’s
national standards body, BSI Group, providing the secretariat.
• Drawing on existing standards and schemes, OHSAS Project Group
published the OHSAS 18000 Series in 1999.
– 18001 provided requirements for an OHS management system
&
– 18002 gave implementation guidelines.
As of 2005, around 16,000 organizations in more than 80 countries were using
the OHSAS 18001 specification. By 2009 more than 54,000 certificates had
been issued in 116 countries to OHSAS or equivalent OHSMS standards.
9. Evolution of OHSAS 18000 SERIES
1992:- British Health & Safety Commission publishes management
of health and safety at work.
1993:- British Health and Safety Executive publishes HS(G)65,
successful health and safety management
1996:- British standard BS 8800 launched, used as model OHSMS
1999:- OHSAS 18001 Specification published based on BS8800
2000:- OHSAS 18002 Guidelines published to assist in the
implementation of OHSAS 18001
10. Objectives of OHSMS
Occupational Health and Safety Management
System (OHSMS) provide a framework that
helps to:
• Identify and control health and safety risks

Yours faithfully,(V.S. Karunakaran)Industrial Advisor
Responsible Care is a global, voluntary initiative developed autonomously by the chemical industry for the chemical industry. It runs in 52 countries whose combined chemical industries account for nearly 90% of global chemical production.
It stands for the chemical industry's desire to improve health, safety, and environmental performance.
The signatory chemical companies agree to commit themselves to improve their performances in the fields of environmental protection, occupational safety and health protection, plant safety, product stewardship and logistics, as well as to continuously improve dialog with their neighbors and the public, independent from legal requirements.
As part of Responsible Care initiative, the International Council of Chemical Associations introduced the The Global Product Strategy in 2006.
Critical analyses of Responsible Care have been done by Andrew King and Michael Lenox, Michael Givel, and Moffet, Bregha and Middelkoop
History
Responsible Care was launched by the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (formerly the Canadian Chemical Producers' Association - CCPA) in 1985. The scheme evolved, and, in 2006, The Responsible Care Global Charter was launched at the UN-led International Conference on Chemicals Management in Dubai.
Controversy
Poisoning of river Elbe by the company Draslovka Kolin a.s., a Responsible Care certified company or hiding of 20 mt leakage of naphthalene by the company Deza, also a Responsible Care company, questions whether the Responsible Care brings any real improvement or is just a marketing tool.
Process safety management is a regulation, promulgated by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). A process is any activity or combination of activities including any use, storage, manufacturing, handling or the on-site movement of highly hazardous chemicals (HHCs) as defined by OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Definition
Process safety management is an analytical tool focused on preventing releases of any substance defined as a "highly hazardous chemicals" by the EPA or OSHA. Process Safety Management (PSM) refers to a set of inter-related approaches to manage hazards associated with the process industries and is intended to reduce the frequency and severity of incidents resulting from releases of chemicals and other energy sources (US OSHA 1993). These standards are composed of organizational and operational procedures, design guidance, audit programs, and a host of other methods.
Elements of Process Safety Management (PSM)
The process safety management program is divided into 14 elements. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.119 define all 14 elements of process safety management plan.
14 Elements of OSHA Process Safety Management Program (PSM)
Process Safety Information
Process Hazard Analysis
Operating Procedures
Training
Contractors
Mechanical Integrity
Hot Work
Management of Change
Incident Investigation
Compliance Audits
Trade Secrets
Employee Participation
Pre-startup Safety Review
Emergency Planning and Response
All of those elements mentioned above are interlinked and interdependent. There is a tremendous interdependency of the various elements of PSM. All elements are related and are necessary to make up the entire PSM picture. Every element either contributes information to other elements for the completion or utilizes information from other elements in order to be completed.
Process Safety Information (PSI)
PSI or process safety information might be considered the keystone of a PSM Program in that it tells you what you are dealing with from both the equipment and the process standpoint. In order to be in compliance with the OSHA PSM regulations the process safety information should include information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals used or produced by the process, information pertaining to the technology of the process and information pertaining to the equipment in the process.
Information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals in the process should consist of at least the following:
Toxicity information
Permissible exposure limit
Physical data
Reactivity data
Corrosivity data
Thermal and chemical stability data
Hazardous effects of inadvertent mixing of different materials that could foreseeably occur.
Information pertaining to the technology of the process should include at least the following:
A block flow diagram or simplified process flow diagram
Process chemistry and its properties
Maximum intended inventory
Safety upper and lower limits for such items as temperatures, pressures, flows or compositions
An evaluation of the consequences of deviations, including those effecting the safety and health of the employees.
Information pertaining to the equipment in the process should include following:
Materials of construction
Piping and instrument diagram (P&ID’s)
Electrical classification
Relief system design and design basis
Ventilation system design
Design codes and standards employed
Material and energy balances for processes built after May 26, 1992
Safety system ( for example interlocks, detection or suppression systems)
The employer should document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP) For existing equipment designed and constructed in accordance with codes, standards or practices that are no longer in general use, the employer should determine and document that the equipment is designed, maintained, inspected, tested and operating in a safe
Compliance
A process includes any group of vessels which are interconnected or separate and contain Highly Hazardous Chemicals (HHC's) which could be involved in a potential release. A process safety incident is the "Unexpected release of toxic, reactive, or flammable liquids and gases in processes involving highly hazardous chemicals. Incidents continue to occur in various industries that use highly hazardous chemicals which exhibit toxic, reactive, flammable, or even explosive properties, or may exhibit a combination of these properties. Regardless of the industry that uses these highly hazardous chemicals, there is a potential for an accidental release any time they are not properly controlled. This, in turn, creates the possibility of disaster. To help assure safe and healthy workplaces, OSHA has issued the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals regulation (Title 29 of CFR Section 1910.119) which contains requirements for the management of hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals."
Any facility that stores or uses a defined "highly hazardous chemical" must comply with OSHA's process safety management (PSM) regulations as well as the quite similar United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk management program (RMP) regulations (Title 40 CFR Part 68). The EPA has published a model RMP plan for an ammonia refrigeration facility which provides excellent guidance on how to comply with either OSHA's PSM regulations or the EPA's RMP regulations.
The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has published a widely used book that explains various methods for identifying hazards in industrial facilities and quantifying their potential severity. Appendix D of the OSHA's PSM regulations endorses the use of the methods explained in that book. AIChE publishes additional guidelines for process safety documentation, implementing process safety management systems, and the Center for Chemical Process Safety publishes an engineering design for process safety.
In Australia, consideration of process safety management is a key consideration for the management of Major Hazard Facilities (MHFs).

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the sole national accreditation body recognised by the British government to assess the competence of organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services. It evaluates these conformity assessment bodies and then accredits them where they are found to meet the internationally specified standard.
An organisation accredited by UKAS can demonstrate competence, impartiality and reliability in its ability to deliver results. Accreditation ensures that everyone from specifiers, purchasers, and suppliers to consumers can have confidence in the quality of goods and in the provision of services throughout the supply chain.
Raad voor Accreditatie (Nederland)
Each member state of the European Union has a national accreditation body. In the Netherlands it is the RvA. Our primary task consists of accrediting and renewing the accreditations of conformity-assessment bodies: laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies and verification bodies. This is to ensure that trust in the quality of products and services is genuinely justified.
Background
The RvA is a private organisation. In 2010 the Dutch government appointed the RvA as the national accreditation body based on European Regulation 765/2008. Since then the RvA has become an independent government agency that answers to the Minister for Economic Affairs. As an independent organisation and independent government agency the RvA is a non-profit organisation.
The RvA was founded in 1995 following a multi-party merger involving:
the Dutch Calibration Organisation (NKO);
the Foundation for the Recognition of Laboratories and Inspection Bodies (STERLAB/STERIN);
the Certification Council (RvC).
Since 2008 CCKL has also been part of the RvA. CCKL accredits Dutch medical laboratories working in the human health sector based on the Dutch Code of Practice. Over the coming years the CCKL accreditations will undergo a phased transition to the European standard ISO 15189. This will also result in the medical laboratories receiving accreditation with an international scope.
Our clients are conformity-assessment bodies:
laboratories
inspection bodies
certification bodies
verification bodies
Conformity-assessment bodies assess whether products and services from suppliers meet the specified requirements. They do this for every imaginable field of work: health, environment, constructions, energy, food, transport and finance, to name but a few. In the event of a positive assessment the supplier is issued with a statement of conformity in the form of a certificate or report.
It is important that conformity-assessment bodies are expert, impartial and independent because only then statements they issue are useful and reliable. The RvA therefore checks that these bodies meet the European (EN) and international (ISO or ISO/IEC) standards. If they do they receive an accreditation mark – an audit of the audit.
