What is OSH Management


System?
The notion of management systems is used often in the decision
making processes in business and unknowingly also in daily life,
whether it is in the purchase of equipment, the extension
of business or more simply the selection of new furniture. The
application of Occupational Safety and Health Management
Systems (OSHMS) is based on relevant OSH criteria, standards
and performance. It aims at providing a method to assess and
improve performance in the prevention of workplace incidents and
accidents via the effective management of hazards and risks in the
workplace. It is a logical, stepwise method to decide what needs
to be done, how best to do it, monitor progress toward the
established goals, evaluate how well it is done and identify areas
for improvement. It is and must be capable of being adapted to
changes in the business of the organisation and to legislative
requirements.

An OSHMS is a logical toolbox that is flexible and can be


tailored to the size and activity of
the organisation and be focused on general or specific hazards
and risks associated with such
activity. Its complexity can range from the simple needs of a
small enterprise running a single product process where
hazards and risks are easy to identify, to multiple hazard
industries such
as mining, nuclear power, chemical manufacturing, or
construction.

The OSHMS approach ensures that:


the implementation of preventive and protective
measures is carried out in an efficient and
coherent manner;
pertinent policies are established;
commitments are made;
all the workplace elements to assess hazards and risks
are considered, and
management and workers are involved in the process at
their level of responsibility.

Benefits of a OSH
Management system

helping organisations create safer work environments

reducing injuries and injury-related costs by pre-empting


injuries, employers save money on medical expenses, the
injured employees wages, insurance claim excesses,
replacement labour and increased workers compensation
insurance premiums

improving business opportunities - many companies have


preferential purchasing policies that favour purchasing
products or services from companies with an OHSMS

providing measurable systems that can verify OHS performance

demonstrating that the organisation is meeting legal


requirements, and

enhancing the organisations reputation

Thats all. Thank


you everyone
