What is an Occupational Health & Safety Management System?
Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Management Systems (AS4801 Audits - BEST PRACTICE) are a method of going about your business which reduces risks to all people. In so doing, effective OHS Management Systems can also help establish the framework of compliance with the two fundamental elements of most OHS legislation:
- that employers provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risk. (Refer OH&S Act 2004 for details)
- that employees take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others.
As a result, effective OHS Management Systems will reduce potential financial and safety risks.
