Occupational Health and Safety Management System
Managing risk can reduce accidents, comply with laws and improve performance:
Many organizations are implementing the Occupational Health and Safety management system (OHSAS) as part of a risk management strategy to respond to changing regulatory requirements and protect their employees.
Management system standards for occupational health and safety take the idea of system safety as the core, adopt systematic and structured management mode, and provide a scientific and effective occupational health and safety management standard and guide for organizations. OHSAS promotes a safe and healthy work environment by providing a framework for your organization to continuously identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the likelihood of accidents, assist compliance, and improve overall performance.
ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety management system Standard is another international management standard after ISO9001 Quality management system Standard and ISO14001 Environmental management system Standard. Its purpose is to standardize the occupational health and safety management behavior of enterprises according to the management standards formulated by modern management science theory, promote enterprises to establish occupational health and safety management system, prevent and control accidents, and ensure the safety and health of workers and related parties in enterprises.
As an official member of ISO, management system attaches great importance to occupational health and safety management, especially some major accidents in recent years, which show that it is extremely urgent to implement ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety standards in China. Implementing ISO 45001:2018 standard and establishing a perfect occupational health and safety management system can avoid many possible casualties and accidents, and its actual and potential benefits are enormous. In order to effectively promote the occupational health and safety management in China, improve the occupational health and safety management level of enterprises, reduce health and safety risks and related losses, reduce production costs, make enterprise management conform to international common practices, promote international trade, improve the comprehensive image of Chinese enterprises and enhance their market competitiveness.
