Health and safety at work is an issue affecting all businesses. Implementing an occupational health and safety (OHS) system is now a legal requirement in many countries.
How do you keep up with legislation and set up a system that protects you and your company? The answer is to introduce a management system that can reduce the risk of accidents, litigation and downtime.
Initiative Quality & Safety Limited offers a cost-effective and highly efficient independent service to assist you to implement an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), and achieve registration to OHSAS 18001.
OHSAS 18001 is an assessment specification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. It was developed in response to the need for companies to meet their health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.
Providing a proactive hands on role, Initiative will give practical guidance on how best to implement your Occupational Health and Safety Management System and will assist in the selection of an appropriate certification body, whom will periodically assess the system and, if compliant, register your company to OHSAS 18001.
Our extensive experience in implementation will help you avoid costly, and time consuming mistakes.
