OCCUPATIONAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY – AS/NZS 4801

The effective management of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks is a minimum requirement in every workplace. The most effective OHS Management Systems are those that meet one of a number of available standards, offering far more than basic compliance. The implementation of an OHS Management System demonstrates to regulators, competitors and customers a commitment to superior OHS management practices.

As well as protecting employees against work-related harm and employers against potential prosecution, an effective OHS Management System can help to dramatically reduce risk, insurance premiums and rehabilitation expenses, while positioning the organization concerned as an employer of choice in a highly competitive employment market. And cer tification by an independent expert, such as SAI Global demonstrates that this commitment has been made and is sustained.

What is an Occupational Health & Safety Management System?

An Occupational Health & Safety Management System is a method of going about your business, which reduces risks to your staff. In so doing, an effective OHS Management System can also help establish the framework of compliance with the two fundamental elements of most OHS legislation:

• That employers provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risk

• That employees take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others.

As a result, an effective OHS Management System, based on OHSAS 18001 or AS/NZS 4801 may reduce potential financial and safety risks.
