OHSAS 18001
Demonstrate your commitment to Occupational Health
& Safety
More and more organizations are concerned about
demonstrating their commitment to Occupational Health & Safety. This is
mainly crucial for employees, but also for customers, stakeholders and the
corporate image. In addition, stricter legislation demands that organizations
show a clear, pro-active commitment towards health and safety. Clients and
employees want proof of this up-front, in addition to being assured that an
organization will continue to meet their needs now and in the long term. That's
a challenge but also an opportunity for organizations to reduce risk and provide
a safer working environment.
Proof that you are committed to Occupational Health
& Safety
The OHSAS 18001 certification enables you to
demonstrate your commitment to occupational health and safety, as well as
continuously improve your corporate image.
What is OHSAS 18001?
OHSAS 18001 is a specification for Occupational Health
& Safety (OHS) Management Systems jointly developed by a number of
international third party certification bodies, national standards bodies, and
other interested parties. It enables organizations to manage operational risks
and improve performance. It also provides guidance on how to manage the health
and safety aspects of your business activities more effectively, while taking
into careful consideration accident prevention, risk reduction and the
well-being of employees.
The benefits of OHSAS 18001
Demonstrating your commitment to Occupational Health
& Safety can positively improve the efficiency of internal operations and
consequently reduce accidents, danger and downtime. Employee safety and the
quality of the working environment are actively improved because objectives and
responsibilities are made clearer and all employees are prepared to effectively
deal with any future hazards. What's more, OHSAS 18001 ensures compliance with
current legal requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or possible
litigation.
