It's not easy being safe, but it's worth the effort Keeping your employees safe while on the job is never an option. However, there are many different options for planning and managing your safety program. One of the most efficient methods is to use an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) to integrate your safety program into your company's existing management system. Intertek can assess your OHSMS to determine if it is in compliance with the internationally-recognized OHSAS 18001:2007 standard. Compliance with OHSAS 18001 can provide a host of benefits: - Improved overall performance
When your company implements an OHSMS, you can become more efficient and productive by minimizing or even eliminating the risk of accidents, emergency situations, occupational injuries and other work-related illnesses.
- Systematic approach
The OHSAS 18001 standard introduces a process approach to assess hazards and risks in the workplace and implement preventative measures as part of day-to-day operations.
- Reduced cost of sales
Your certification establishes your company's commitment to safety from day one. Because the task of explaining the specifics and demonstrating the effectiveness of your OHSMS is more straightforward, it takes less time to earn your prospective customers' trust and confidence.
- Lower risk of liability
By demonstrating compliance to OHSAS 18001, you can take steps to protect your workers, and consequently lower the risk of having to cover insurance payments and legal costs.
