OHSAS 18001, 4.5.1 Performance Measurement & Monitoring

The document discusses procedures for regularly monitoring and measuring occupational health and safety (OH&S) performance according to section 4.5.1 of OHSAS 18001. It states that procedures should include both qualitative and quantitative measurements to monitor conformance with OH&S objectives, operational sequences, and applicable laws and regulations. It also calls for reactive performance measurements to monitor accidents, illnesses, incidents and other negative OH&S events, and recording results to enable future analysis and corrective actions. The document specifies that calibration and servicing records should be retained for any measuring instruments used.

4.5.1 Performance Measurement and Monitoring
 The organisation must institute and maintain procedures for regularly
monitoring and measuring OH&S performance. These procedures must
comprise the following:
 Qualitative and quantitative measurements based on the
organisation's requirements
 Monitoring the extent to which the organisation's OH&S objectives
are being achieved
 Proactive performance measurements that monitor conformance
with the OH&S management programme, the criteria for operational
sequences, and the prevailing laws and regulations
 Reactive performance measurements for monitoring accidents,
illneses, incidents (including near-accidents) and other evidence of
negative OH&S performance
 Recording of the data and results of the monitoring and
measurements to the extent that they can facilitate the future
analysis of correction and preventive actions.
 If certain instruments are required for measuring and monitoring
performance, the organisation must institute and maintain procedures
for calibrating and servicing the instruments. It must retain verification
of these calibration and servicing activities.

 Take special note of injury due, for example, to:

 Presence of gases, vibrating tools

 Noise, extreme temperatures

 Light, monotonous activities

 Handling hazardous materials etc.


Measurement and Monitoring

If the organisation uses measuring


instruments for monitoring, it must have a
procedure for:
 Calibration
 Calibration cycles

The organisation must retain calibration records.
