Occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) is a modern production safety management mode rising internationally in the late 1980s. Together with the management systems stipulated in ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards, OHSMS is known as the post industrial epoch-making management method. GB / T28001-2001 (ohsas18001:1999) standard is the only OHSMS standard that can be used for third-party certification. This standard provides a structured operation mechanism for various organizations to help organizations improve work safety management and promote occupational health and safety and continuous improvement.

Background with the continuous progress of Industrial Science and technology, the safety and health problems of employees are becoming more and more prominent, and the global production safety accidents continue to grow. According to the estimation of the International Labour Organization, there are about 270 million occupational accidents worldwide every year, 2 million people die of occupational accidents and work-related diseases, 160 million people suffer from occupational diseases, and the safety and health of employees are seriously threatened. In the late 1990s, some developed countries learned from the successful experience of ISO9000 certification and carried out the activities of implementing occupational health and safety management system to ensure the health and safety of employees. In 1996, the United Kingdom issued the international standard of bs8800 guidelines for occupational safety and health management system. Since then, some organizations in the United States, Australia, Japan and Norway have formulated guidance documents on occupational health and safety management system. In 1999, 13 organizations such as British Standards Institute (BSI) and det Norske Veritas (DNV) proposed OHSAS standards, namely OHSAS18001 occupational health and safety management system - specifications OHSAS18002 occupational health and safety management system - OHSAS18001 implementation guide.

Relevant situation in China

Since the reform and opening up, China's national economy has maintained rapid growth, but as one of the important symbols of social development, occupational health and safety has lagged far behind the pace of economic construction. In order to improve China's production safety level as soon as possible, protect the fundamental interests of the working people, promote trade development and meet the requirements of WTO rules, in 2001, AQSIQ issued the national standard GB / T28001-2001 (occupational health and safety management system specification), which covers all the technical contents of ohsas18001:1999, It is applicable to any organization that establishes an occupational health and safety management system and seeks external organization certification of its occupational health and safety management system.

As the largest professional certification body in China, China Quality Certification Center (CQC) has been committed to the research and promotion of occupational health and safety management system standards for many years, and achieved good results. Many well-known enterprises have obtained OHSMS certification certificates in our center, such as Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd., Beijing Capital International Airport Co., Ltd., Dell (China) Co., Ltd Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Pharmaceutical General Factory, etc. There are more than 32 HSMS certification centers and OMS certification centers in China's civil aviation and textile industries, and there are more than 200 professional certification centers in China's property and construction industries.
