Compliance with Health and Safety legislation and

regulations is a critical requirement for all businesses.
Implementing a structured Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OHSMS) based on recognized standards
can provide significant benefits, including improved compliance,
reductions in illness and injury statistics and cost savings.
OHSAS 18001
The OHSAS 18001:2007 standard is the most widely recognized
Occupational Health & Safety Management System standard
globally. This structured management systems approach enables
organizations to identify hazards, assess and prioritize risks, and
implement appropriate protective and preventive control measures to
reduce the potential for occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
OHS&S programs deliver significant benefits

Better awareness and control of workplace hazards and risks can
reduce the number and severity of lost time incidents and injuries,
improve employee health and safety and deliver other benefits,
including:
Improved compliance with legal and other requirements,
Potential for fewer, less stringent regulatory inspections,
Evidence of due diligence and corporate social responsibility,
A framework for organizational risk management,
Reduced workers compensation costs, insurance premiums and
other healthcare costs,
Value Through Integration

OHSAS 18001 is compatible with
the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001
international standards, and more
organizations are recognizing the
efficiencies and other benefits of an
integrated business management
systems approach.
Other OHSMS Standards

ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005 and CAN/CSA
Z1000-06 are consensus standards
developed in the US and Canada
respectively.
Both standards include the main
OH&S principles contained within the
OHSAS 18001:2007 standard, and
are intended to enable organizations
to prevent or reduce occupational
injuries, illnesses and fatalities, and
improve OH&S performance.
Reduced absenteeism, resulting in increased productivity,

Improved employee satisfaction and retention, and
Increased ability to attract the best new talent.
The concepts of due diligence and corporate social responsibility
are increasingly discussed in corporate boardrooms today, and
companies are recognizing that the effective implementation of a
structured OHSMS can demonstrate good corporate citizenship while
concurrently mitigating corporate and personal liability.
