OHSAS 18001 - SACI-ISO

OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System

What Is OHSAS 18001?

OHSAS 18001 has been developed in response to industry demand for a recognisable health and safety management system standard which can be externally assessed and certified.

Who Can Use OHSAS 18001?

OHSAS 18001 is applicable to any organisation – irrespective of their size or geographical location.

Why is OHSAS 18001 important for your organisation?

OHSAS 18001 demonstrates to your stakeholders that you're confident in your organisation's ability to meet health and safety legislation requirements. Not only does it highlight commitment to implementing, maintaining and improving health and safety policy, but it can also provide your organisation with a competitive edge.
