Occupational Health, Welfare and Safety Systems.

The importance of managing Occupational Health and Safety is recognised by all interested parties: employers, employees, customers, suppliers, insurers, shareholders, the community, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
OHSAS 18001 has been developed in response to an urgent customer demand for an internationally recognised Occupational Health, Welfare and Safety Management Specification, against which their management systems could be assessed and certified.
OHSAS 18001 is an occupational health, Welfare and safety management system, designed to assist companies to make their companies safer and comply with their legal obligations.
A systems approach to workplace health and safety management contributes to company success and reduced accidents and ill health costs, which are often hidden and underestimated.
OHSAS offers a structured approach to developing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving occupational health, welfare and safety and can be used as a management tool, to eliminate or minimise risk to employees and other interested parties.

ISO 27001 Training

There are several common elements between the two standards, such as management review, document control, corrective action and the requirement for trained personnel. These can be combined into a single, joint system (together with Health & Safety if desired). Assessment of joint systems is available and may be the most suitable and cost effective approach for some companies.

Hey,Industrial Hygiene AMI obviously are real professionals in Occupational Health & Safety and Doug can clearly provide high quality prevention based risk assessments to employers so they are comfortable in doing the right thing by their employees as well as save on potential compensation claims too. Well done....
