ISO 14001 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through dedicated technical committees representing approximately 150 countries around the world. Its purpose is to enable an organization of any type or size to develop and implement a policy committing it to prevention of pollution, compliance with legal and other requirements, and continual improvement.

Global warming and the responsibilities of business to reduce greenhouse emissions have become prominent subjects in the business arena. Control over greenhouse gas emissions has become important for many organisations and capturing and managing this greenhouse gas information accurately has become a cornerstone of how well they can be measured.

SAI Global, through its Americas subsidiary, QMI – SAI Global, was the first registrar to achieve North American accreditation for ISO 14001, which also uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act structure required in R2, and remains a leader in providing customized service. SAI Global has registered organizations from a wide variety of sectors, including electronics recycling, recycling and waste management, energy, resources, manufacturing, transportation, food, services and more.

There has never been a better time to adopt the OHSAS 18001 Standard as the foundation for your Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. If your organization is already certified to OHSAS 18001, then SAI Global can perform audits against the 1999 or 2007 version of the standard as you transition to the new requirements until July 2009. Using SAI Global’s expertise in this way will allow you to identify those new requirements yet to be met, and structure a course of action to improve your system.

Keeping your workplace safe is a priority; however there are many options available for the review, audit and certification of your OHS Management system. SAI Global has several OHS Management systems solutions for you to choose, one of which includes the well recognised SafetyMAP Certification program.

In 2005 a multi-jurisdictional working party of regulatory bodies under the Heads of Workers Compensation Authorities was formed to develop an Occupational Health and Safety audit program and a set of audit guidelines that were agreed at a national level - the National OHS Self Insurers Audit Tool (NAT).
