SS506:Part1:2009 - Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS)
SS 506:Part 1 SOCOTEC Certification Singapore is the first to be accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to provide certification to SS506: Part 1 certification. The SS506:Part 1 with the same elements of an effective OSHMS has been designed to help organizations implement a policy and objectives which take into account legal requirements and information about OSH risks.
SS506:Part 1 specification is accepted throughout the world and has been developed to be compatible with ISO 9001:2015 (Quality) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental) management systems.
In additional, we could also offer accredited OHSAS certification under United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
Transition from BS OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has officially published ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems – Requirements with guidance for use on 12th March 2018. ISO 45001:2018 will replace BS OHSAS 18001:2007 – Occupational Health & Safety Management System. The stipulated transition period for ISO 45001:2018 is three years from 12th March 2018 till 11th March 2021. Therefore, as of 12th March 2021, BS OHSAS 18001:2007 shall cease.
SS 506:Part 1:2009/ BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (SAC) certification validity
From 11th September 2019, Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) has instructed for accredited certification bodies to conduct audits, including initial, surveillance and recertification to ISO 45001:2018 for their SS 506:Part 1:2009/ BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (SAC) certified clients even if they have not requested for migration to ISO 45001:2018.
Any deficiencies or gaps identified during the audit shall be raised as observations if the client has yet to request for migration to ISO 45001:2018.
However, if the organization has requested for migration audit to ISO 45001:2018, deficiencies or gaps identified during the migration audit shall be raised as observation and/or non-conformity, depending on the severity of the finding.
SS 506:Part 1:2009/ BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (SAC) certification is valid till 11th March 2021.
