Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
The Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires all companies to have a Safety Statement (Safety Management System) in compliance with Section 20. The foundation of the Safety Statement lies in the identification of hazards and the assessment of risk associated with the company’s activities. OHSS can develop Safety Statements for your business in compliance with this Act and improve your safety performance.
OHSAS 18001 is an Occupation Health and Safety Assessment Series for health and safety management systems. It is designed to help organisations control occupational health and safety risks in the workplace. It was developed in response to widespread demand for a recognised standard against which to be certified and assessed.
The OHSAS specification is applicable to any organisation that wishes to:
- Establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or minimise risk to employees and other interested parties who may be exposed to OH&S risks associated with its activities.
- Assure itself of its conformance with its stated OH&S policy
- Demonstrate such conformance to others
- Implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S management system
- Make a self-determination and declaration of conformance with this OHSAS specification.
- Seek certification/registration of its OH&S management system by an external organisation
