OHS Management System
An OHS Management System goes beyond the standard rules and regulations. It’s a best-practice approach for meeting your health and safety obligations to both employees and stakeholders. With a RiskLogic OHS Management System, you benefit from a systematic methodology designed to meet your legal requirements and achieve sustained improvement in Occupational Health and Safety management. RiskLogic will work with you to determine the scope of your OHS Management System including:
- The range of activities involved in your operations.
- The type of safety hazards associated with these activities and/or work premises.
- Related requirements under state OHS legislation and AS 4801.
- Preferred arrangements for employee consultations and OHS communications.
- OHS targets, performance indicators and timeframes.
- Designated OHS responsibilities, authorities and accountabilities.
- Parameters and strategies for integrating OHS into normal business operations (eg. HR, purchasing, contracting, etc.).
- Any specific areas of concerns.
