Dear Mr. Raman,
Welcome to this forum.
Implementation of EMS & OHSAS helps everyone in an organization. The implementation of these management systems brings maximum benefits to employees. In the Western world, even trade unions make these systems compulsory. The above is a general remark. If you provide information about your industry, processes, and products being manufactured, I would then be able to comment in detail.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

You may first identify the scope of certification, then carry out HIRA & Aspect-Impact of all activities, identify applicable legal requirements & other requirements, make OCPs for activities with significant aspect/risk, identify targets on EMS & OHSAS at the organizational level & department level, identify EMPs, identify KPIs to measure the healthiness of management systems, plan internal audits (at least 2/year) & one by accreditation agency for certification/surveillance. Conduct management reviews at least once a year.

Please find attached herewith the roadmap for EMS and OHSAS. As you are in Solar Power Projects, ISO 14001 would have a positive impact on the business. This certification would be mandatory if you intend to export to certain countries.
If you require any specific assistance, please let us know.

Thank you so much Mr. Sudhir and Mr. Chakkaravarthy for your prompt response. Basically I am an MBA (HR) and an ex-serviceman retired from Indian Army, currently working as Manager (Administration) in a medium size software services enterprise in Hyderabad. Presently I am thinking for change and hence looking for better opportunities in IT MNCs and major manufacturing companies in similar role. My question is –1. Are these certifications relevant to a Manager in Administration? 2. Will the certifications like OHSAS and EMS really help me in grabbing good opportunities in IT MNCs and major manufacturing companies in admin and facilities?

Dear Raman,
The implementation of EHS and OHSAS would help every individual who wants to make a career in it. You have to be passionate! You will have to read both the standards and find your own ways for their implementation in the organization. You can also audit the systems. The EMS and OHSAS in India are perceived as the future. Both standards focus on Legal Compliance, which in most cases is the responsibility of HR or Administration. If you work hard and smart, you will definitely succeed. If you need any help, please let us know.
All the best.

Based on the information provided by you, I understand that you are primarily focused on HR. Obtaining certifications in EMS and OSHAs would be more beneficial if you are working as an HSE manager, as there are often many technical requirements to fulfill.
I cannot definitively say how much this will enhance your career. However, pursuing these certifications for additional qualifications is a positive step.

Dear Mr. Raman,
I have been working as an ISO 9000 auditor for quite some time. You mentioned your intention to work in HR in the IT field. In that case, it would be more relevant for you to pursue the ISO 20000 course, which is designed for IT services. On the other hand, OHSAS and EMS are more applicable to manufacturing industries.
I would like to offer a word of caution. The training program can be quite expensive if undertaken individually. Additionally, there is the issue of being absent from work for about five full days. It would be more beneficial if you could secure sponsorship from your company.
Obtaining qualifications in ISO 20000 would certainly be advantageous for an HR professional in the IT industry. This would enable them to take the lead in organizing the company's certification and ensuring its maintenance. Typically, IT personnel may not have the time or patience for such tasks.
On a side note, certification is what a company receives for meeting the standard, while Lead Assessor qualification is what an individual achieves.

Dear Mr. Raman,
Thank you so much for your comments. I am not working in HR; rather, I am working as an Administrative Manager. Since security, safety, health, statutory and legal compliance, and facility management come directly under the purview of Administration in a company, I felt that certification in OHSAS and EMS, at least at the foundation level, would help me work more effectively as an administrator. Furthermore, it may enhance my prospects for better opportunities in prominent IT MNCs and major manufacturing companies. I am looking forward to your feedback.

I am an ISO 9000 auditor since long. You have mentioned that you intend working in HR in the IT field. In that case, it is more relevant for you to do ISO 20000 course which is for IT Services. OHSAS and EMS are more relevant to manufacturing industries. A word of caution: The training program is quite expensive to do on one's own. Plus there is the question of some five full days of absence from work. It is always better if you can manage a company sponsorship. It will be certainly advantageous for the HR person in an IT industry to be qualified in ISO 20000. He can then take the lead in organizing for the certification of the company and lead it in maintaining it. The IT guys will not have the time or patience for it! By the way: Certification is what a company gets for the standard, and Lead Assessor qualification is what an individual obtains.

Dear Shri Ramana,
It should be clear that EMS and OHSAS certifications are available to and meant for organizations, not for individuals. Individuals employed in organizations can have the opportunity to gain experience in preparing the organization ready for certification, being part of the process to obtain the certifications for their organization, and later in implementation.
For this, the prerequisite is that organizations decide at a high level to pursue the certifications, considering the benefits, direct costs involved (certification fees to certifying agencies, professional fees for preparing the organization for certification, fees for renewal after the validity period, etc.), costs associated with generating required procedures and documentation, costs for additional training to meet certification requirements, equivalent costs for sparing the Management Representative (MR) for certification preparation work, and other related expenses. HR, Administration, or HSE Managers may take the initiative to gather the necessary data on costs and benefits to convince top management to pursue certifications and secure budget allocation for this purpose.
The person designated as MR will have the maximum opportunity to gain experience in certification implementation. This certification would certainly enhance the individual's CV and may provide an edge in career advancement.
I agree with Shri Murthar that "experience in obtaining certifications and their implementation" will be more beneficial for technical personnel in terms of career growth compared to HR/Admin Managers.
Individuals can take training courses for Lead Auditors for these certifications to complement their professional qualifications in HR, Administration, or HSE.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management can be a very effective tool to identify cost savings opportunities for some organizations. However, some organizations may falter in their planning due to a lack of senior management commitment and a poor understanding of how it should be implemented, leading to managing an ineffective ISO 14001 EMS Certification. Among the key benefits of the ISO 14001 EMS Certification standard are as follows:

ISO 9001 does NOT define the actual quality of your product or service. The standard helps you achieve consistent results and continually improve the process. Thus, if you can make a good product most of the time, this helps you make it all of the time. It's just a series of good, basic business practices. Example of ISO 9001 applied to making cookies.

Many organizations decide to implement ISO 9000 quality management approaches and obtain ISO 9001 registration because it assures customers that the company has a good Quality Management System (QMS) in place. Many organizations require their suppliers to have ISO 9001 registration.
The concept of executing an ISO 9000 quality process allows companies to have access to a wider market for their products, particularly in the international arena, but also within their own countries.
