OHSAS 18001 - BusinessSafety.ie

Why?

Health and safety plays an increasingly important role in business today.  Failure to comply with health and safety law can have severe consequences for you as an employer or manager with penalties of up to €2m and/or 2 years in prison.  With this in mind, you need to be absolutely certain you meet all legal requirements.  To do this, health and safety must be actively managed. OHSAS 18001 is an essential tool in an employer's armoury when seeking to improve health and safety.

How?

The best way to manage health and safety and ensure compliance, is to put in place procedures and plans that take account of the risks involved and appropriate control measures.  Such procedures and plans need to be checked from time to time and reviewed accordingly.  In other words, you need a Safety Management System.  OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognised Safety Management System which has been developed to assist employers in developing effective controls for health and safety and against which they can obtain certification.
