ISO 18001:2007

Post by Lisamw »

Hi all

I'm likely to keep popping in here for guidance whilst working my way through the maze of 18001, so thank you in advance of your ongoing assistance.

I've been going through the standard and note that I should be doing a report to Senior Management on our H & S system. Can anyone give guidance on what the assessors would be looking for in this report ? Is it just an overview of what's happened, what we've done about it and what our future plans are or is there a specific format I should follow ?

Thanks again
Lisa :-D

There are many references to reports and risk management reviews.
4.4.1 Structure and responsibility
b) ensuring that reports on the performance of the OH&S management system are
presented.
4.5.5 Internal Audit
conducting audits and reporting results.
4.6 Management review
top management shall review the OH&S management system. This review shall be documented.

So the report should include company performance, legal compliance, legal changes, objectives and targets, your current risk management programs running, measurement & monitoring, internal audit status.
It's basically all of 18001 subsections rolled out into a format the external auditor can use to tick his boxes.

Normally the reports and/or meetings come in the form of a monthy or quarterly update.
With the big review as and when major changes require it to happen - (or at least every 12 months).
