OHSAS or the abbreviation for Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS 18001) is an international standard for implementing Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems in the workplace / company. Many organizations in various countries have adopted OHSAS 18001 to encourage the application of occupational safety and health by implementing procedures that require organizations to consistently identify and control the risks of hazards to safety and health in the workplace; and improve company performance and image.

Meanwhile, Government Regulation No.50 of 2012 is a set of regulations related to the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System which is based on Law N0.01 of 1970, and is mandated by Law No. 13 of 2003. Occupational Health and Safety PP No.50 of 2012 is required for companies, employing more than 100 people and has a high level of potential danger. For this reason, the company is required to prepare a K3 Plan. In preparing the OHS plan, employers involve the Occupational Health and Safety Expert, the Working Committee for Occupational Safety and Health, Workers' Representatives and other relevant parties.
