Implementing OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001

Hello, I am supposed to implement an OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 MS in a asbestos analysis laboratory in six months. There are already many compliance obligations. It is the first time for me and I am a little confused. What advice could you give me to stand it well. I plan to start first by identifying and and evaluating all the environmental aspects. Is this deadline reasonable? Do you have any advice for a newbie?

Looking forward your response.

Answer:

Six months is a reasonable period for the implementation, but you can also save time by identifying common requirements of both standards and implement them at the same time. For more information bout common requirements see: ISO 14001 vs. OHSAS 18001: What is different and what is the same? https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2019/08/27/key-iso-14001-benefits-to-customers/nowledgebase/iso-14001-vs-ohsas-18001-what-is-different-and-what-is-the-same/

I would start with gap analysis to determine what needs to be done to achieve full compliance with the standards and then develop project plan for implementation. When developing a pr oject plan, you should assign roles and responsibilities within the project to as many people as possible to decrease the time and also to ensure that the most relevant people are involved in implementing requirements of the standard.
