Development and implementation of occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS)

What is OHSMS? Why to develop and implement OHSMS?

OHSMS is a set of policies, procedures and practices aimed at preventing or reducing work-related injuries and illnesses and at continuously improving the health and safety performance of an organization. OHSMS helps an organization to identify and control health and safety risks, comply with legal and other requirements, and set health and safety goals and objectives.

• Reduced human and financial costs from work-related accidents and illnesses
• Improved reputation and public image of the organization among customers, suppliers, regulators and stakeholders
• Increased morale and productivity of employees and managers
• Creation of a positive health and safety culture that fosters trust and cooperation
• Facilitated compliance with legal and other obligations
• Support of the organization in achieving its health and safety goals and objectives.
