We have had a few companies asking if we will accept the now discontinued ACC WSMP as evidence of a certified safety management system.
We are not able to accept this scheme. The ACC WSMP is not presently recognised by JAS-ANZ.
We will accept any JAS-ANZ accredited scheme that is certified to the AS/NZS 4801:2001 or OHS 18001 standards.
The decision rests with JAS-ANZ on the schemes they deem comparable with the standards.
JAS-ANZ can recognise the accreditations of other signatories of the International Accreditation Forum, such as ISO.
If you provide us with written confirmation from JAS-ANZ that they recognise the certification body who audited your safety management system, we will recognise them too.
You will need to seek this written confirmation from JAS-ANZ, they can be contacted on: contact@jas-anz.org.
If you currently hold a WSMP, then it could be worth exploring the audit costs with a JAS-ANZ accredited auditor to check if there are areas which can be streamlined based on prior work completed as part of the WSMP.
