Support Activities for Developing an OHSAS System

Historical reference: OHSAS 18001 has been withdrawn and replaced by ISO 45001. The material below retains the original implementation approach for reference. OHSAS certification references are historical and are not an offer of new certification. Current projects should be planned against ISO 45001 and applicable requirements.
