What is Health and Safety Management?

An effective health and safety management system provides an organisation with a well-structured scheme of operations that makes it easier for businesses of all types, structures and sizes to manage and control areas of risk associated with occupational health and safety. In countries around the world organisations must adhere to their own national health and safety rules and regulations… and while it’s highly unlikely a formal health and safety management system is a legal requirement, it does help make tasks in this important area much easier to manage, control and improve.

An effective safety management system is not about making things more complex; in fact, it is the exact opposite…

Health and Safety Management Principles

As with any kind of management system, the more streamlined and logical it is, the better the results are likely to be, and the greater the chances of it being adopted. Well planned management systems are not about making things more complex; in fact, it is the exact opposite.

The main principles of good health and safety management that should be considered include:

  • Commitment of Senior Management

    The senior management team of the organisation needs to commit fully to improving its record on accidents, and occupational health and safety through improvements to its safety management systems.

  • Focusing on Effective Documentation

    Certain aspects of occupational health and safety should be well documented, i.e. risk assessments, operational controls, emergency procedures etc. However, creating paperwork simply for the sake of it should be discouraged.

    A well designed health and safety management system will ensure only those specific tasks that present a risk will be focused on, as they should be.

  • In-House Standards

    While there are recognised standards such as the British Standard OHSAS 18001 that can be used to help construct a health and safety management system, there is also room to tailor these management standards to suit a particular organisation or business and its specific risks, needs and requirements.

    Adopting solid, well designed in-house health and safety standards that utilise the OHSAS 18001 framework is often a good way to do this.

  • Identifying Processes & Procedures That Work

    Health and safety in the workplace should not be a complex process that makes life difficult for people to perform at their best.

    By identifying workable and sensible standards, processes and procedures to use in each situation, it becomes easier to ensure that management standards are used day-to-day and so continue to protect health and safety.

  • Adopting Standards That Are Industry-Specific

    While one industry may have a need to adopt specific standards in order to meet its health and safety obligations, another may have no use for those standards at all.

    A good health and safety management system should be organisational or sector specific and allow for the adoption of the right standards in each case.

Why Implement OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management?

Protecting and improving the health and safety of employees and others in the workplace is a fundamental objective for any health and safety management system. Complying with local health and safety laws is also essential to ensure regulatory compliance is achieved.

Those businesses that have a good, well developed occupational health and safety management system in place are better placed to reduce accidents, ill health and absenteeism. They are also far less likely to fall foul of the law for non-compliance.

An effective health and safety management system based on the OHSAS 19001 standard can deliver a number of important benefits to an organisation, its employees and wider stakeholders including:

  • Safer Working Environment

    Build a safer, more productive working environment for staff and others. Improve your safety record and get better protection for staff, suppliers, visitors and other stakeholders.

  • Increased Productivity

    Get increased productivity through reduced workplace related injuries, ill health and absenteeism.

  • Less Disruption

    Benefit from a reduction in accident associated disruption, production delays and downtime caused by incidents, accidents and ill health.

  • Meet Your Legal Obligations

    Meet your legal obligations on health and safety matters, maintain and demonstrate legal compliance to the regulator.

  • Improved Corporate Responsibility

    Demonstrate to your staff, customers, suppliers, investors and other stakeholders your commitment to corporate responsibility.

  • Protection From Reputational Damage

    Protect your reputation from the damaging effects incidents, investigations and prosecutions can have on your organisation.

  • Motivate Your People

    Motivate your staff and improve morale through consultation, engagement and the implementation of improvements to workplace health and safety.

The implementation and operation of a good health and safety management system ensures your organisation sends out the right messages to its employees, customers, clients, suppliers, investors and wider stakeholders. Customers and clients will be impressed that you take health and safety seriously, both for them and for your employees. Your local health and safety regulators (in the UK this is the Health & Safety Executive) will also take note of this. All in all, it means your organisation will be viewed positively from a safety management perspective, and the risks associated with accidents, injuries and ill health should be reduced.

Good health and safety management also points to good management standards in general. That also reflects well on your organisation and it could make all the difference to the amount of time you spend on health and safety matters as well. When you have a solid management plan in place to control the risks associated with those day-to-day tasks and procedures performed as part of your business, opportunities for error, confusion and accidents will be significantly reduced.

Management Systems & BS OHSAS 18001

The internationally recognised Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, OHSAS 18001 is a tried and tested occupational health and safety management system used by organisations around the world. It has been developed to help organisations control and manage their occupational health and safety risks.

OHSAS 18001 is similar in its approach to many other popular management system standards and is designed on the principle of the Plan – Do – Check – Act or PDCA process.

Plan – Do – Check – Act

If your organisation decides to adopt BS OHSAS 18001, the recognised British Standard in health and safety management systems, you have the peace of mind of knowing you are choosing a system that is tried and tested, and has been proven to work. You will also be aware that the system lays out the minimum requirements an organisation needs to meet in order to remain on the right side of health and safety law.

If you wish to develop an effective health and safety management system for your business using a recognised framework, it is well worth exploring BS OHSAS 18001 in more detail. This popular standard is one of two distinct elements that make-up the overall OHSAS 18000 framework, which comprises OHSAS 18001 and 18002. It is intended to help organisations build a framework of activities that can be used to control and manage their occupational health and safety risks.

Implementing OHSAS 18001

Building an occupational health and safety management system for your organisation based on the BS OHSAS 18001 standard demonstrates that you are taking good care of health and safety matters in your work environment. While OHSAS 18001 provides a solid framework, it is important to recognise that this framework offers a good degree of flexibility and can be built upon in order to deliver a truly tailored solution for your organisation.

No two organisations are ever the same, even when they exist in the same industry sector. Some may be bigger than others and have more employees. Others may perform different tasks according to the products or services they offer and the specific market sector they are operating in.

This is why it is important to implement OHSAS 18001 with full knowledge of how to do so successfully. It is not just about implementing the standard; it is about building on it and making it fit to enhance your organisational activities, goals and objectives.

Not only will this OHS standard help to improve the health and safety of employees and others at your workplace, it will also assist you in meeting your health and safety obligations, and it will help you look forward and make adjustments if your organisation is set to expand or take on more people. In any event, OHSAS 18001 provides you with a sound health and safety management framework you can rely on.

While OHSAS 18001 provides a solid framework, it is important to recognise that this framework offers a good degree of flexibility and can be built upon in order to deliver a truly tailored solution for your organisation.

No two organisations are ever the same, even when they exist in the same industry sector. Some may be bigger than others and have more employees. Others may perform different tasks according to the products or services they offer and the specific market sector they are operating in.

This is why it is important to implement OHSAS 18001 with full knowledge of how to do so successfully. It is not just about implementing the standard; it is about building on it and making it fit to enhance your organisational activities, goals and objectives.

Not only will this OHS standard help to improve the health and safety of employees and others at your workplace, it will also assist you in meeting your health and safety obligations, and it will help you look forward and make adjustments if your organisation is set to expand or take on more people. In any event, OHSAS 18001 provides you with a sound health and safety management framework you can rely on.
