OHSAS stands for Occupational Health Series and Safety Assessment.

OHSAS 18001 began in the late 1990s, and many public and private organizations around the world have reported its implementation, which has improved the safety and health of their workplace and drastically reduced waste costs. Basically, the purpose of establishing an occupational safety and health system is to improve the work environment and improve the organization’s performance in the field of occupational safety and health by preventing injuries and risks.
This standard has been introduced in our country’s electrical industry and has been implemented in Khoy, Tabriz and Hamedan power plants so far, and these power plants have received the OHSAS 18001 certification and have received very brilliant results from it. Montazer Ghaem Power Plant was also in the process of obtaining this certificate at the time of writing this article. Considering the commitment of this industry on quality and improving productivity and developing safety and occupational health and improving the environment, it is hoped that other power plants and production and industrial centers of the Ministry of Energy as well as other industries and factories in our country will receive this certificate. Create a healthy and safe work environment. In this article, an attempt has been made to present this system and its features in a simple statement.
