Health and Safety Management Systems, OHSAS 18001:2000, Essex, UK

Health & Safety Management

Effective health & safety management has long been a legal responsibility for business. With today's increasing tendency for litigation, triggered by the successful "no-win, no-fee" accidents claims companies; good health & safety management makes sound business sense. In addition, it is becoming more likely that not only a company will be prosecuted but also individuals may face conviction. On the positive side a well structured and managed health & safety system can improve your overall business performance and reduce costs.

OHSAS 18001:2000

As with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 is a framework for an efficient Health & Safety management system. Not an international standard due to varying international legal requirements, this Specification provides an assurance of a robust, legally compliant management system. Your management system can also be accredited against this Specification.
