Safety Management System Review

An Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) encompasses more than just your Health and Safety Program. Leadership has overall responsibility and accountability for the protection of worker health and safety. We are advocating for greater maturity in risk-based decision making and this, we believe, is rooted in having an OHSMS. Luckily, there is a new ISO Standard to aid in the development or re-structuring of your management system.

The ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems –  is set to dramatically improve levels of workplace safety by reducing injury rates globally. The standard is unique and current, and promotes the mental health of workers, human factors, and worker participation. The standard is designed to consider the inter-relationship between business practices and creating safe, sustainable workplaces.

Organizations are tasked with continuing to improve the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the OHS system. Let us help you identify your needs by utilizing planning strategies and processes, that ensures the risks and opportunities that need to be considered, are addressed and systematically reviewed.

Our team can aid in establishing processes for meaningful participation, to identify hazards and assess risk, to investigate incidents and non-conformities, and develop action items to control hazards eliminating risk to your people and your business.

If you don’t already have an Occupational Health and Safety Management System, we can help you build one. We can also provide an upgrade to your existing processes.
