Occupational Health & Safety (OHSAS 18001) Management System

OHSAS 18001 is recognized as an effective Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) for achieving improved OH&S sustainable performance through control and systematic management of Occupational Health and Safety hazards and associated risks. The OHSAS 18001 standard helps maintain a healthy and safe work environment, which makes registration key to improvement in the work place.

Since the early industrial age, the need to reduce and eliminate the occurrence and costs of occupational injuries, illness and fatalities has been a common goal for many organizations. Today, despite dedicated efforts and commitments from all interested parties, annual OH&S national statistics report thousands of work fatalities, injuries and illnesses, which also result in millions of working days lost.

Improved Occupational Health and Safety performance brings many benefits to your company, employees, business partners and key stakeholders. Key advantages and benefits to OHSAS 18001 registration can include:

• Demonstrated commitment to your employees, their families and all interested parties that you care about the health, safety & wellness of each person that may be exposed to the health and safety risks associated with the activities and operations of your organization
• Reduction/elimination of cost associated with OH&S injuries/illness
• Solid ground to establish sound assessment and control of the OH&S risks
• May help participating organizations meet requirements of due diligence and reasonable care imposed by law
• Integration of multiple OH&S programs under the umbrella of one common management system
• Maintain/improve organization's public reputation in the health and safety industry
• Help maintaining positive communications with all interested parties, including the Occupational Health & Safety legal authorities, shareholders, financial institutions, insurances, and others
• Seamlessly integrate with quality, environmental and other sector specific management systems
