Occupational Health and Safety
Assessment Series (OHSAS)
18001:2007 is the internationally
recognised assessment
specification for occupational
health and safety management
systems that was first published
in 1999 and revised in 2007.

The main driving force behind
OHSAS 18001 was British
Standards Institute (BSI).

It has been designed to be
compatible with ISO 9001:2008
and ISO 14001:2004. OHSAS
18001 is NOT an ISO
management system, nether was
ISO involved in its development.
Malaysian Standard (MS) 1722:
Part 1:2005 is a Malaysian
Standard on Occupational Safety
& Health Management System
adopted from the International
Labour Organisations Standard,
ILO-OSH 2001.

Among the objective of this
standard is to:

i. Establish compliance with
legislations;
ii. Protecting employees from
work-related hazard; and
iii. Eliminate work-related
injuries, disabilities, ill
health, diseases, near misses
and fatalities
OHSAS 18001 MS 1722
The OHSAS Standard is intended to
address occupational health and
safety, and is NOT intended to
address other health and safety
areas such as employee
wellbeing/wellness programmes,
product safety, property damage or
environmental impacts.

Compliance with OHSAS Standard
cannot confer immunity from legal
obligations.
Compliance with MS 1722 Standard
does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
