The revision of OHSAS 18002 is currently underway. The first draft will be reviewed in a meeting the first week in October 2007. It is anticipated that the revised 18002 will be published in June/July 2008.

The attempt here to distinguish the difference between Incident and Non-conformity could be better illustrated by giving examples to clarify their boundaries. The Safety Manager who has limited knowledge of ISO 9000 tends to lump the two together. They give a miss to the non-conformity that possibly relates to a case e.g. where certain hygiene tests show one or few requirements not being met.

Would you have a simple powerpoint presentation to share with us on the key changes made in the 2007 edition of OHSAS 18001. By the way, has OHSAS 18002:2000 been revised to keep abreast of the revised standard.

Thanks !

As per Heinrich theory of accidents

300 near miss leads to incidents -which has potential to lead to accidents.

29 incidents leads to one accident

300 near miss–29 incidents –one accident.
So to collect data and investigate these incidents one can avoid accidents in the early stage itself.
