What is OHSAS 18001?

OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognised standard for occupational health and safety management. The standard can be adopted by any organisation wishing to implement a structured approach to hazard identification and risk management. The standard is designed to make the management of health and safety more transparent and effective by translating the outputs of risk assessment, audits, inspections, legal reviews and incident investigations into action plans to minimise the risk of accidents.

What are the Benefits of OHSAS 18001?

In a competitive market, customers are looking for more than just keen pricing from their suppliers. Exceptionally high health & safety standards should be a requisite for any successful company. Organisations need to demonstrate that its businesses are managed efficiently and responsibly.
One of the key reasons a company seeks 18001 registration is to increase competitiveness and to secure new orders by demonstrating its capability and fitness for purpose.
Companies of any size can significantly benefit from acquiring 18001 accreditation.

These include:

1. International recognition

1. Increasing your market share

1. Improving your business’s ability to tender for contracts

1. Reduced risk to employees, customers and suppliers
