Health & Safety Management System Development & Implementation
OHSSA specialises in working with organisations to assist with the process of implementing a health and safety management system.
OHSSA has developed a Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) approach in order to assist organisations to efficiently and effectively manage their Health, Safety, and Environment needs.
OHSSA believes that this unique and comprehensive management system approach of integrating Health, Safety, and Environment will provide organisations with a distinct business advantage in this area. In order to be successful and profitable as an organisation all areas of a business must be well managed. The OHSSA approach will provide a framework to support the management of Health, Safety and Environment aspects of an organisation. This approach is based on well recognized management system standards such as OHSAS 18001, legislative requirements and includes industry best practices. Following a management system approach to health and safety will also help organisations establish a high level of due diligence as required by health and safety legislation. The OHSSA Management System Model has also adopted the concept of plan, do, check, act and the philosophy of continual improvement.
The goal of the OHSSA Model is the prevention of environmental impacts and of occupational accidents, illnesses and other preventable losses in an organisation. This includes any losses related to areas such as people, equipment, materials, environment, process, production, and customer service. OHSSA strongly believes there is a great business advantage to be gained from managing this important part of any business. The key to success is that the organisations leadership team must be committed to being leaders in managing the health, safety and environment part of their business and lead the way in establishing a positive safety culture within their organisation.
The OHSSA Health, Safety, and Environment Management System Model is made up of the following:
- Management System Drivers
- Required Programs/Elements
- Risk Based Programs/Elements for Health, Safety and Environment
