Dear Shri Ramana
It should be clear that EMS and OHSAS certifications are available to and are meant for Organisations and not for individuals. Individuals employed in Organisations can have opportunity of gaining experience in preparing the Organisation ready for Certification, of being a part of the process to get the Certifications for his Organisation and later in implementation .
For this, the prerequisite is that the Organisations decide at high level to go for the Certifications in question taking into account the benefits of the Certifications, the direct cost involved (certification fee to Certifying agencies, professional fee for the Agencies for preparing the Organisation for Certification, fee for renewal of Certification after the validity period, etc.), cost involved in generating the required procedures and documentation, cost involved in undertaking additional training to meet the requirement of the Certifications, cost equivalent for sparing the MR (Management Representative of the Organisation) for the work related to preparation for Certifications, and other related costs. HR, Administration or HSE Manager may take initiative in gathering the required data on Costs and Benefits to convince the top management to go for the Certifications and get the budget allocation for the purpose.
The person designated as MR will have maximum opportunity to gain and claim experience in implementation of Certifications. This certification would certainly be useful in enriching the CV of the person and may be helpful to get an edge over others in career advancement.
I agree with Shri Murthar that 'experience in getting the Certifications and their implementation' will be more beneficial to Technical Persons for career growth, when compared to HR / Admn. Managers.
Individuals can do training courses for Lead Auditors for these Certifications to supplement their professional qualification in HR, Administration or HSE.
