ISO 18001 (OHSAS)
The OHSAS 18001 standard is internationally accepted as a method of assessing and auditing occupational health and safety management systems.
Developed by leading trade and international standards bodies, it provides a framework for organizations to instigate proper and effective management of health & safety in the workplace.
By having a clearly defined management system in place to identify and control health and safety risks, organizations can minimize risks to their workforce and visitors or external contractors on their premises. The standard will enable organizations to put in place processes for continually reviewing and improving occupational health and safety.
Key areas that will be assessed by OHSAS certification
- Management systems in place
- Planning and risk assessment
- Staff training and awareness
- Communication of safety management systems
- Response to emergencies
- Monitoring and continual improvement
Health and safety management System
Achieving a structured health and safety management system throughout the organization will demonstrate your commitment to the welfare of your staff and external parties.
It will provide a framework to implement the OHSAS 18001 requirements and a process for continual improvement.
The development of a robust and manageable system will provide benefits to the organisation and its workforce. Cost savings and a reduction in accidents are just two of the many benefits.
