OHSAS 18001 sets out the minimum requirements for occupational health and safety management best practice. Standardizing health and safety can achieve the maximum return for your operations, your employees, the general public, the community and your customers.
Occupational health and safety management helps reduce workplace accidents and illness, cutting out related costs and downtime, as well as prioritizing the welfare of company personnel and other stake holders.
It paves the way for the best possible working conditions for any organization and provides guidelines on how to identify hazards and put in place the correct controls to manage them. Leading to better, safer working conditions and ultimately to superior performance.
OHSAS 18001 not only motivates staff, it also engages customers and suppliers looking for businesses that take occupational health and safety management seriously.
ISO/DIS 45001 brings occupational health and safety management and continual improvement into the heart of an organization. This new standard is an opportunity for organizations to align their strategic direction with their OH&S management system. In addition, there is an increased focus on improving occupational health and safety performance.
Some of the resulting benefits are:
- Reduce work related injuries, ill health and death
- Eliminate or minimize OH&S risks
- Improve OH&S performance and effectiveness
- Demonstrate corporate responsibility
- Meet supply chain requirements
- Protect brand reputation
- Motivate and engage staff through consultation and participation
