More and more organisations are now concerned about demonstrating their commitment to health and safety. Implementing a management system based on the requirements of BS OHSAS 18001 will help you achieve this.

Why certify to OHSAS 18001?
Certification to BS OHSAS 18001 demonstrates, both internally and externally, a commitment to maintain or improve the way in which you manage health and safety within your organisation.
Setting targets through an organisational health and safety policy, together with ongoing measurement against it, supports a process of continual improvement, enabled by the standard’s ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ framework.
In addition, lost time due to incidents and ill health can be reduced, along with reputational damage resulting from a poor H&S track record. Holding BS OHSAS 18001 certification also provides new opportunities to win business where certification is a condition of supply.
