CONCLUSION

OHSAS 18001’s certification have been widelyadopted in different industries in both public and

private sectors.

To maintain business relationship with buyer.

To seek for IMS’s certification, instead of single

standard against OHSAS 18001. More and more ABs have launch the OHSAS 18001’s

accreditation in the market, hence the OHSAS 18001’scertification should be under better control in future.
