In recent years OHSAS 18001 has become the most internationally-recognised standard for health and safety management systems. It demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to controlling its health and safety risks and eliminating work-related accidents.
OHSAS 18001 can help any size or type of organisation that wants a simple and clear system for protecting the health and safety of its employees, enhancing its reputation as a responsible employer and maintaining compliance with health and safety legislation.
For certain types of organisations, achieving OHSAS 18001 certification can lower their insurance premiums, reduce the cost of employee absences and open up opportunities to do business with organisations that are committed to sound health and safety management.
Equas enthusiastically supports organisations in implementing an OHSAS 18001 compliant system. Done in the right way, it avoids complexity and focuses on implementing and maintaining simple and effective measures rather than creating reams of paperwork.
