Health & Safety Management

A Health & Safety Management System is a way of managing your business which reduces the risk of harm to your most valuable resource, your staff. By implementing and maintaining a formalised health & safety management system your organisation is demonstrating its commitment to the Health & Safety of staff members as well as having a defence in law in case of a serious harm accident.

There are a few options when it comes to Health & Safety Management Certification. These are:

AS/NZS 4801 – Health & Safety Management Standard

AS/NZS 4801 is an Australian and New Zealand standard for occupational health and safety management systems.

AS/NZS 4801 can be adopted by any organisation wishing to implement a formalised system to reduce the risks associated with health and safety in the working environment for employees, customers and the public.

OHSAS 18001 – HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT STANDARD

OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognised standard specification for occupational health and safety management systems. It was developed by a selection of leading trade bodies, international standards and certification bodies.

WORK SAFE WARRANTY:2006 – HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT STANDARD

Work Safe Warranty is an alternative to both OHSAS 18001 and AS/NZS 4801. It is a little more user friendly than the other two standards. It has a few advantages, these are:

  • The fees are generally less.
  • The certification logo can be used on packaging and on the actual product.
  • The standard is free to download from the internet.
  • The standard is very easy to understand.
