BS OHSAS 18001 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, enabling an organization to control its occupational health and safety risk.
Driven by complicated 'Health and Safety Legislation', by establishing an (OH&S) Management System you can help to eliminate and/or minimise the exposure of your employees to workplace hazards, by ensuring both 'pro-active' and 're-active' monitoring is managed, recorded and analysed by the management team.
Health and safety should not be intrusive, it should allow the work process to be carried out effectively within the environment it is carried out, ensuring conformity to fundamental health and safety principles, while allowing operational needs and objectives to be attained.
It's no coincidence that the most successful companies in terms of business performance are inevitably those with the best safety record
