BS OHSAS 18001 is an occupational health and safety management system designed for use in all kinds of workplaces. Published in 1999, this popular British Standard was originally developed to protect the safety of workers by providing a framework that would ensure businesses adopting the standard would meet all minimum health and safety requirements expected of them.
ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety management systems is a new international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization in collaboration with many of the world’s leading occupational safety groups including the International Occupational Safety and Health, the American Society of Safety Engineer’s, the American Industrial Hygiene Association and the International Labour Organisation.
Every year millions of people worldwide die from work-related accidents, injuries and diseases. This is an extremely startling statistic and should be quite alarming to any business or organisation that takes their responsibilities in this important area seriously. The impact of a fatality, a serious accident or simply ill health on an organisation and its workforce can be profound. It can lead to prosecution under the law, civil litigation, the loss of reputation, higher insurance premiums, early retirements, reduced staff moral and much, much more.
This is the general health and safety policy statement of Quality Management Systems and outlines how the organisation will manage its health and safety responsibilities.
