OHSAS
18001—Health and Safety Management |
| |
|
| |
The
management of Health and Safety is becoming a growing
problem in the INDIA. Recent figures from the Health
and Safety Executive indicate that there were 241
fatalities in the period 2006/2007, with very little
change in this figure over the last 5 years.
Combined with the poor publicity and subsequent loss of reputation arising from
incidents, it makes good sense to establish a safety management system.

What
is OHSAS 18001? |
| |
|
| |
OHSAS
18001 is intended to help businesses control occupational
health and safety risks. It was developed in response to
a widespread demand for a recognised standard for which to
be certified too and falls neatly in line with the ISO 14001
standard.
It is a framework that allows a business to consistently identify and control
its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents and legislative
requirements and improve overall performance. |

How
can Mesh help you achieve OHSAS 18001? |
| |
We
will help you design, document, implement and operate a
simple health and safety management system that meets all
the requirements of OHSAS 18001.
We will design the system around your existing health and safety practices where
ever possible, including the completion of risk assessments as necessary. We
will help you to establish the necessary controls to ensure you are in compliance
with relevant legislation, and help you identify and solve the areas of your
business that do not comply to the OHSAS 18001 standard.
Once the system has been implemented, we will recommend you for the initial audit
visit from an external assessment body. We will then arrange for your system
to be fully audited by one of our very own auditors; with the final
OHSAS 18001 external assessment taking place within 3 months of the initial audit
visit (depending upon the external assessment body).
