A risk Assessment of your organisation will assist you in
complying with requirements for risk assessment under the Safety, Health and
Welfare at Work Act 2005.
A Risk Assessment will identifiy hazards and assess the
risks within an organisation which are key to the management of risk and
prevention of accidents and injuries.
A Risk Assessment will identify areas of risk, assess the
severity and outline a full risk assessment report.
OHSAS 18001 is an Occupation Health and Safety Assessment
Series for health and safety management systems and risk Assessment. It is
designed to help organisations control occupational health and safety
risks in the workplace. It was developed in response to
widespread demand for a recognised standard against which to be certified and
assessed.
The OHSAS specification is applicable to any organisation
that wishes to:
* Establish an OH&S management system to eliminate or
minimise risk to employees and other interested parties who may be exposed to
OH&S risks associated with its activities.
* Assure itself of its conformance with its stated
OH&S policy
* Demonstrate such conformance to others
* Implement, maintain and continually improve an OH&S
management system
* Make a self-determination and declaration of
conformance with this OHSAS specification.
* Seek certification/registration of its OH&S
management system by an external organisation
The risks to your organisation from failing to manage
workplace health and safety are significant at a time when workplace injuries
are high and legislative requirements mounting. In many instances, such failures arise from lack of knowledge
and systems to manage health and safety rather than deliberate actions on
behalf of managers or directors.
