OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series)

OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) is an international standard that helps organizations manage and improve their health and safety practices at work. It provides a framework to identify potential hazards, reduce risks, and ensure a safe environment for employees and others affected by the organization’s activities. Achieving certification demonstrates a company’s commitment to protecting workers’ well-being, complying with laws, and continuously improving safety performance. While it’s not a regulation itself, many organizations use OHSAS 18001 to systematically manage health and safety risks and foster a safer workplace culture.
