Organizations willing to adopt Occupational health and safety management systems(OH&S Management System) have to obtain a license for the same. For this
purpose, they have to ensure that they are operating according to the IS 18001:2000
standard. The organization has to apply at the nearest Regional Office of Bureau
of Indian Standards in the prescribed proforma along with a questionnaire and application fee. The application has to be signed by the Chief Executive Officer of
the organization or any person who has been assigned by the CEO for this purpose.
Also, manual or the documentation of OHS management system is to be submitted
along with the application. Once an application is received by the regional office
of BIS, it is scrutinized for all the requirements. If the application is complete, it
is accepted, otherwise more information is sought from the applicant organization.
If the application is accepted, an adequacy audit takes place and a preliminary visit
(pre-audit) is conducted by an audit team. Immediately after this, initial certification audit takes place on the basis of which an audit report is prepared by the audit
team. If the report comes out to be satisfactory, recommendations for the award of
certifications are made by the team and the certificate is granted to the organization
by the concerned authorities. However if the report does not meet all the requirements, the applicant organization is asked to take corrective actions after which
another audit is conducted.
