OHSAS 18001
Occupational Health
& Safety Management

18001 certification is the internationally recognised standard for occupational health and safety management systems and confirms a robust approach to the management of your health and safety risks.

Many organisations implement occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to cope with changing legislation and to protect their workforce. Reaching the standards required for OHSAS 18001 demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to the highest levels of health and safety performance. The standard shows you provide a healthy working environment that allows you to consistently identify and control health and safety risks, reduce accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.

If you wish to tender for public sector work, deal with the largest companies or wish to demonstrate your health and safety credentials, you should be aiming for certification.
