CONCLUSION

� OHSAS 18001’s certification have been widely adopted 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’s certification should be under better control in future.
