Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce. An OHS management system promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows organizations to consistently identify and control their health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, ensure compliance with laws and improve overall performance.
OHSAS 18001 is the main standard for an occupational health and safety management system and is a part of the OHSAS 18000 series of standards. It can help companies put in place the policies, procedures and controls needed to achieve the best possible working conditions and workplace health and safety, aligned to internationally recognized bests practices.
