12. Cabinet Regulation No. 317 of 25 August 1998, Regulations regarding Work<br />

Safety and Health Protection of Employees in Work with Asbestos (Coming<br />

into force on 1 January 2000).<br />

OHSAS 18001 is applicable to any organization from all types of business sectors and<br />

activities. Certification against OHSAS 18001 is aimed at the way a company has<br />

control over, and knowledge of, all relevant risks resulting from normal operations and<br />

abnormal situations.<br />

OHSAS 18001 is focused on the management of Occupational Health and Safety and as<br />

such addresses the organizations continual improvement that can be used to provide<br />

stakeholders and others with assurances of conformance with its stated Occupational<br />

Health &Safety policy [23; 24; 25; 26; 27; 28]. If we compared the Latvian Labour<br />

Protection Law (adopted by the Saeima on 20 June 2001, Coming into force on 1<br />

January 2002.) with OHSAS (5.point) we could find the requirements similar to<br />

standard.<br />
