Registration - Assessment OHSAS 18001

Directors and managers are required by law to have policies and procedures in place to safeguard the occupational health and safety of their employees and those who directly interact with their business. This extends to planning and monitoring the company activities, with regard to operational risks identified in the health and safety arena.

This mandatory requirement is now becoming one of the most important legal requirements, ethical and social responsibilities in the developed world, as well as in countries seeking to gain global recognition.

Organizations that adopt and implement an Occupational health and safety management system to OHSAS 18001 can benefit from:

• Reduced costs due to less incidences
• Reduced Liability Claims
• Reduced risk of accidents
• Improved confidence in operations
• Improved shareholder confidence
• Prevention of prosecution
• Reduced insurance premiums
• Valued public image
• Proactive risk management
• Better management control
• Reduced loss of productive time

One of the most important aspects of the Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSAS 18001) is its requirement for proactive identification, monitoring and management of health and safety risks. Once implemented, it perpetuates good practice in order to minimize operational risk.
