The risks to your organisation from failing to manage workplace health and safety are significant at a time when workplace injuries are high and legislative requirements mounting. In many instances, such failures arise from lack of knowledge and systems to manage health and safety rather than deliberate actions on behalf of managers or directors.
The most effective way to manage health and safety risks is to implement an Occupational Health & Safety Management system. These systems give a sound foundation to the management of risk. Whether a decision is made to adopt a formalised system or not it is advisable to work towards the recognised standard of for Occupational Health & Safety Management that is OHSAS 18001.OHSAS 18001 is based on the principle of risk management and is modelled on the ISO series of international standards. It can be easily integrated with other risk management systems. The advantage of working to this standard is that if in the future, it is decided to seek accreditation to ISO 18001, and then the foundations are in place for such accreditation.
