Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)

Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) are structured frameworks organizations use to identify, evaluate, and control workplace hazards to ensure employee safety and health. They involve establishing policies, procedures, and continuous improvement processes to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses. OHSMS helps organizations comply with legal requirements, promote a safety culture, and reduce costs related to workplace incidents. Essentially, it’s a systematic approach that integrates safety into everyday operations, ensuring a safer environment for everyone while supporting organizational effectiveness and responsibility.
