Occupational health and safety management systems in accordance with BS OHSAS 18001:2007 – manage processes safely and effectively

Next to quality and the environment, occupational safety and health protection are becoming increasingly important when it comes to management systems. Points of contact are primarily provided by environmental management – e.g. dealing with hazardous materials.

The systematic management of health and safety involves, amongst other things, preventing accidents and absences caused by illness, and to reduce insurance contributions: this increases the profitability of the company. Above all, external audits of the company continuously provide new incentives to further develop health and safety at work and to support the internal improvement process.

On the basis of an accepted standard (e.g. BS OHSAS 18001:2007), occupational safety can be seamlessly incorporated into existing management systems. Additionally, this also ensures that company managers fulfil their legal obligations to implement health and safety regulations effectively: certification of the occupational safety management system provides proof to customers and others. An integrated audit of the health and safety management system with quality and/or environment minimises the additional hassle and significantly reduces the “audit burden” for both management and employees.
