OHSAS 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system standard that helps enable organizations to control health and safety risks, while at the same time promoting employee well-being and a safe work environment. Many healthcare service providers have implemented the OHSAS 18001 standard to help ensure the safety of their employees. Especially within the healthcare industry, there is a need to reduce and eliminate the occurrences of and costs associated with occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Still today, despite dedicated efforts and commitments from all interested parties, annual OH&S national statistics report thousands of work fatalities, injuries, and illnesses, which result in millions of lost working days equating to millions of dollars in costs that healthcare service providers could be working towards mitigating through the implementation and registration of internationally recognized and accepted occupational health and safety standards.
