ISO 14000 is a family of ISO standards that applies to environmental management systems. The ISO 14000 family of standards provides practical tools for companies and organizations of all kinds looking to manage their environmental responsibilities.

ISO 14001:2015 focuses on environmental systems to achieve this. The other standards in the family focus on specific approaches such as audits, communications, labelling and life cycle analysis, as well as environmental challenges such as climate change.

ISO 14001:2015 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to. It maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It can be used by any organization regardless of its activity or sector.

Using ISO 14001:2015 can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.

There are many reasons why an organization should take a strategic approach to improving its environmental performance. Users of the standard have reported that ISO 14001 helps
  • Demonstrate compliance with current and future statutory and regulatory requirements
  • Increase leadership involvement and engagement of employees
  • Improve company reputation and the confidence of stakeholders through strategic communication
  • Achieve strategic business aims by incorporating environmental issues into business management
  • Provide a competitive and financial advantage through improved efficiencies and reduced costs
  • Encourage better environmental performance of suppliers by integrating them into the organization’s business systems
  • Encourage better environmental performance of suppliers.
OHSAS 18001 is an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) which provides a system for measuring and improving an organization’s health and safety impact.

When ISO 14000 and 18000 are compared with each other, one will see that they are very similar to each other and share these elements:
  • Policy
  • Targets & Objectives
  • Roles & Responsibilities
  • Training
  • Supplier Control/Purchasing
  • Document Control
  • Operational Control
  • Calibration
  • Corrective and Preventive Action
  • Records
  • Auditing
  • Management Review
The main difference between ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 is that:
  • ISO 14001 focuses on managing your organization’s impact on the external environment, to reduce pollution and comply with regulations
  • OHSAS 18001 focuses on managing your organization’s internal environment to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Structurally, the two standards are the same and the requirements are very similar. Consequently, the processes and documentation needed to implement and certify to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 are essentially the same. Only the intent and focus are different.

ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 as a combined management system

ISO offers six versions of the Documentation Package to simplify the process for organizations that already have other management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.) in place or want to deal with more than one standard at a time.
