Answer:
OHSAS 18001 requires organization to assign roles and responsibilities for:
a) Ensuring that the OH&S management system is established, implemented and maintained in accordance with this OHSAS Standard;
b) Ensuring that reports on the performance of the OH&S management system are presented to top management for review and used as a basis for improvement of the OH&S management system.
Basically you need to assign responsibility to someone (or a group of people) in your organization for compliance with the standard and reporting on the performance of your Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&SMS). This person is management representative and should be part of the top management. He or she should coordinate internal audits and other activities regarding the OH&SMS and report to the top management.
