Hi vbaskar20,
For understanding ISO 14000, you must know what is ISO
ISO
What is ISO?
ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 156 countries, on the basis of one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.
ISO is a non-governmental organization: its members are not, as is the case in the United Nations system, delegations of national governments. Nevertheless, ISO occupies a special position between the public and private sectors. This is because, on the one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of industry associations.
Therefore, ISO is able to act as a bridging organization in which a consensus can be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society, such as the needs of stakeholder groups like consumers and users.
What ISO's name means?
Because "International Organization for Standardization" would have different abbreviations in different languages ("IOS" in English, "OIN" in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), it was decided at the outset to use a word derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal". Therefore, whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the organization's name is always ISO.
ISO 14000
The ISO 14000 family is primarily concerned with "environmental management". This means what the organization does to:
- minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and to
- achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.
The vast majority of ISO standards are highly specific to a particular product, material, or process. However, the standards that have earned the ISO 14000 families a worldwide reputation are known as "generic management system standards".
"Generic" means that the same standards can be applied:
- to any organization, large or small, whatever its product
- including whether its "product" is actually a service,
- in any sector of activity, and
- whether it is a business enterprise, a public administration, or a government department.
OHSAS
Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series
This is given for maintaining healthy and safety climate in a manufacturing unit.
I know only this about OHSAS
Can anybody want to throw more light on this topic??
Thanks

Today the OH & SM is seen as the ideal solution to almost all the ills plaguing the IT & ITES & manufacturing Sectors. Right from attrition due to sheer boredom, fatigue, physical stress and psychological trauma to the more clearly tangible ailments arising from cross infections, improper temperature control at the work place, long working hours and ergonomic related aspects, all can be addressed by a well initiated and developed Occupational Health & Safety program. The OH&SM accepted and made mandatory right across the US, UK and the rest of Europe, is now getting its due in India. Leading IT & manufacturing Companies have now felt the urgent need to go for it, for ensuring a permanent and long-term solution to the crisis affecting the workforce.
Though most of the organizations in the IT / ITES & manufacturing industry are aware of OH & S Management, it is widely understood that they are not fully aware of the benefits & solutions to their day-to-day workplace related issues plaguing their organization, offered by the implementation of such systems & practices.
