> Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – OHSAS 18001

A company has moral, legal and economic reasons to eliminate or minimise occupational health & safety risks for their employees and anyone else who may be affected by their business activities. The regular introduction of new legislation coupled with an ever growing ‘claims culture’ will expose those companies that do not effectively manage this area. OHSAS 18001 is a proven effective, flexible organisational tool for managing Occupational Health & Safety.

2-3 million employees suffer ill-health caused or made worse by work

Why implement an OHSAS 18001 System? Here are just some of the drivers

To meet customer requirements for OHSAS 18001; supply chain pressures are becoming increasingly prevalent; OHSAS 18001 is likely to become a minimum requirement.

A recognised tool to help eliminate or minimise risk to employees and other interested third parties, reduce insurance premiums and demonstrate compliance and due diligence to interested parties.

Your company will benefit financially from more efficient safety practices. Besides the possible legal costs, hidden costs such as absences, recruitment, training and production losses eat directly into profits.

Accreditation to OHSAS 18001 can improve public relations and can be used as a marketing tool to help give the organisation a competitive edge

To seek independent verification that your company is committed to eliminating or minimising risk on a continuous basis.

In short, a company cannot afford not to manage risks. In managing risk you are prepared to deal with changes and threats posed by health & safety issues NOW, and your business will be better placed to confidently manage and control future challenges.
