Has ISO published standards on Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) management systems under the designation ISO 18000?

No ISO standards currently exist on OH&S management systems under the designation of ISO 18000, or under any other designation. In January 1997, ISO's Technical Management Board (TMB) shelved the possibility of ISO developing OH&S standards along the lines of ISO 9000. At that time, the TMB noted that the outcome of the international workshop on OH&S management system standardization held by ISO on 5-6 September 1996 in Geneva indicated that there was little support from the main stakeholders for ISO to develop standards in this field. The question was revisited with the same outcome some three years later - see ISO's Press Release of 22 June 2000.

However, such standards have been developed at national level (e.g. in Australia, the United Kingdom, ... ).

Where can I obtain an Object Identifier (OID)?

The Registration Authority (RA) for ISO 6523 can provide you with the contact details of organizations issuing OIDs, since it is the RA which maintains a register of "issuing organizations", such information is not available from the ISO Central Secretariat.
